Please move to Russia, Eritrea, Belarus, Venezuela and North Korea and regress after 10 years, if they let you. Probably then you will understand, why it is absolut out of the blue calling the EU authoritarian. Here and there a questional court decision or political action does not make a System authoritarian.

The EU is constantly moving in the direction of less freedom instead of more freedom. Yes, of course there are country that are more authoritarian, but that can't be an excuse.
