EU Parliament wants to clarify whether the Commission's decision to release frozen EU funding worth around ten billion euros for the country was lawful. Commission announced that it would defend its decision in court.
It believes it acted in full compliance with EU law, a spokesman said. The majority of Ursula von der Leyen's party friends remain silent. It is unclear how successful the lawsuit will be. Critics see a lawsuit as a way of portraying von der Leyen's possible second term as President of the EU Commission.
