2018. november hetedikén fogadták el az Európai Néppárt nyilatkozatát, amit a FIDESZ is megszavazott. Úgy tűnt, hogy elég pontosan értik a jogállamiság fogalmát, ugyanis a nyilatkozatban KILENCSZER írták le a rule of law kifejezést.
1. After the Second World War, Christian Democrats were at the forefront fighting
to establish liberal democracy in a secure Europe — based on our Judeo-Christian democratic
ideas and values, the rule of law, a multiparty system and a strong civil society with
independent media, the freedom of religion, expression and association.
2. Populist and nationalist extremism, disinformation, discrimination and undermining of the
rule of law pose the greatest threat to freedom and democracy that Europe has experienced
since the fall of the Iron Curtain.
3. We stress that the European Union is founded on the values of respect for human dignity,
freedom, democracy, equality, the rule of law and respect for human rights, including the
rights of persons belonging to minorities.
4. We reaffirm our commitment to democracy, the rule of law and the social market economy.
5. Populism and nationalism are incompatible with progress, democracy and the rule of law.
6. We underline that the way in which the rule of law is implemented in the Member States
plays a key role in ensuring mutual trust among Member States and their legal systems
and is vital to maintaining an area of freedom, security and justice without internal
borders.
7. We stress that the Council of Europe remains the bedrock of human rights, democracy
and the rule of law for all of Europe.
8. We are convinced that corruption poses a serious threat to the rule of law, democracy,
human rights and social justice.
9. They should be treated equally by governments and legislatures,
regardless of their political orientation, so long as their activities remain within the
boundaries of the rule of law.

Ha a jogállam egy értelmezhetetlen fogalom, akkor két olyan kifogástalan kereszténydemokrata úriember, mint Szájer József és Deutsch Tamás, mi a fasznak írt alá egy olyan szöveget, amelyben többször volt szó a jogállamról, mint a köztévé egy random öt percében Soros Györgyről?
