EU was supposed to be an economic union, but it morphed into a politicaly cancerous union.

Now it's evocing emergency acts to bypass union member states when it sees fit.

On using Russian frozen assets:

>> The vote put forward by von der Leyen reframed the issue of frozen Russian assets as an economic emergency rather than a sanctions policy. This allowed the Commission to invoke Article 122 of the EU treaties, an emergency clause that permits decisions to be adopted by a qualified majority vote instead of unanimity, effectively bypassing veto threats from countries opposed to the move.
