France calls a second emergency Paris Summit on Ukraine today with EU leaders, Norway and Canada.

Can these spontaneous summits help Europe find its voice in a time of crisis? 🤔

Nu de formatie zich in de eindfase bevindt, en met de Europese verkiezingen in aantocht, verscheen vandaag in @DeGroene een essay van @LuukvMiddelaar en mij over de innige verwevenheid van nationale en Europese politiek. https://t.co/rvsjU894lB Een draadje🧵1/5

[Vestert Borger @VestertBorger]

Deze strijd over Europa’s toekomstige vorm gaat aan velen in de Tweede Kamer voorbij. Een meerderheid houdt stug vast aan het beeld van de EU als gedepolitiseerd construct. Dat staat haaks op de ontwikkeling die het Europese bestel de afgelopen halve eeuw heeft doorgemaakt. 5/5

From the December issue: @VestertBorger (@EULeiden) annotates Cases C-156 and 157/21, Hungary and Poland v. Parliament and Council: "Constitutional identity, the #ruleoflaw, and the power of the purse: The ECJ approves the #conditionality mechanism". https://t.co/fYMWNlcigA

[Vestert Borger @VestertBorger]

The case note builds on previous work by, amongst others, @ProfPech, @JMorijn, @KimLaneLaw, @rdanielkelemen, @RehlingLarsen, @teobone, @ld_spieker, @WojSadurski, @LuukvMiddelaar, @ProfKochenov For the whole case note, see: https://t.co/cMqzVtOY8W 4/4

Happy to see my case note on the judgment of @EUCourtPress on the conditionality mechanism published in the @CMLRev. The judgment not just approves the mechanism’s legality, but touches on the very fundamentals of the EU as a constitutional polity. 1/4

[Vestert Borger @VestertBorger]

Crucially, the CJEU for the first time pronounced on Europe’s constitutional identity, a constitutional core which the EU should be able to protect in federal struggles, now and in the future, over founding values 3/4
