The EU Commission recently rejected Italy's 2019 budget for breaking EU fiscal rules, the Italian government had to do a climbdown and submit a new budget.  A couple of weeks later Macron produced the French budget which similarly breaks the rules, yet is allowed to get away with it.  The EU continually states it is a rules based organisation, except when those rules are inconvenient for favoured ...
