Abstract: In the context of recent developments at the European Union level, the current article seeks to find a response to the role that the European Union should play in protecting democracy, human rights and, last but not least, the rule of law. Starting from a minimal theoretical approach of concepts within the European Union and continuing with some concrete situations, the protection of these key values is subject to strong blows/attacks, outlining the idea that the European Union is increasingly considered to be bureaucratic and, sometimes, undemocratic. Despite these considerations, the European Union has a duty to continue its work on promoting human rights, to ensure respect for the rule of law, the protection of human rights and the democratic architecture of each Member State, so that the citizen's legal certainty and trust in the European values promoted at this level to represent one of its key objectives.
