LISBON. Germany’s Europe Minister Michael Roth said on Tuesday that the EU had not been firm enough in upholding the rule of law and had lost credibility with countries that do not respect it.
“I want to be very honest. The EU has not been firm enough in defending and strengthening the rule of law. We have lost a lot of our credibility, especially in member states where the rule of law is under pressure, and this is quite a heavy burden for the Council”, the German minister said at an event in Coimbra.
