Depends on what the government is doing, is the country still free. Did they get voted in? Can they be voted out?
@93GT7XN3yrs3Y
Yes and they should be removed if they continue to oppress their people
@92PPPFC3yrs3Y
Yes, if said government was proven to be elected by corrupt means.
@8TVB3D34yrs4Y
Yes, if these authoritarian governments breach fundamental human rights and instate anti democratic principles.
@8T79ZZ24yrs4Y
The commission is not elected universally by the European Union population and therefore should not be able to sanction members that they believe to be authoritarian when they are so themselves.
@8T3QVDY4yrs4Y
Only if the sanctions harm the government itself and not the nations people.
@8T2597W4yrs4Y

@8G8G9T75yrs5Y
