Die EU hat übrigens eine Klausel für Fälle wie die polnische "Justizreform" im Giftschrank

The first step in the EU triggering article 7 is an assessment of whether there has been a breach of fundamental rights, which could be launched as early as next week on the recommendation of the commission. What we decide next week depends on developments also this week, Timmermans said, as he called for fresh dialogue with Warsaw.
Should a breach of fundamental rights be found, a motion to suspend Poland’s voting rights would then need to win the support of member states under the EU’s system of qualified majority voting. Two-thirds of the European parliament would also need to give its consent.
