Abstract: In the construction of Europe, the rule of law is considered the foundation of all the values on which the European Union is based, and its observance is an indispensable condition for the observance of the other values of the Union, in other words, of its existence. In Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, we find the provision that the rule of law is one of the fundamental values on which the Union is founded, which is joined in the text by respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality and respect for human rights, including the rights of persons belonging to minorities. Given the importance attached to this principle, it is only natural to remain concerned and to ensure that all Member States comply with it at all times and that it is constantly monitored. In recent years, in various states, amid complex external situations and due to the economic crisis felt worldwide, there have been political actions considered to be "at the limit of the law", which were considered to affect the rule of law. All this has forced the Union to take concrete measures to strengthen the rule of law in order to prevent democratic slippages that could jeopardize the security of European construction. We will refer below to the regulations contained in the content of the Treaty of Lisbon applicable in situations of deviation from the rule of law.
