I have one question for both of you.

Article 7 has been evoked against Poland and Hungary. It seems to me that for the EU, because of the rules of their parliament, the sanctions against Poland or Hungary can only be done in unanimity.

Technically, it seems to me that this has become normalized in Europe now. I'll start with the four Visegrad countries. When you look at those countries, article 7 has been invoked and the EU has no teeth to apply any sanctions. Do we not see the normalization of this type of xenophobia and what is the solution for us in North America to counteract that?
