The cultural Iron Curtain dividing the European Union (EU) between an secular, post-national and progressive west, and a re-Christianising, nationalist and traditionalist east is becoming more entrenched. Late last Friday, the European Commission decided to sue Hungary over what it sees as an anti-LGBT law as well as Budapest’s refusal to renew the license of government-critical Klubrádió. Similarly, Poland has been subject to fines of up to €1 million per day over rule of law matters. Part of a long-running dispute between Brussels and central and eastern Europe, in what the latter sees as a thinly-veiled attempt to impose liberal values on the region. Both Hungary and Poland are still in a dispute with Brussels over conditions to release EU funds.
