The EU does routinely violate human rights as there is no free speech anywhere in the EU. People are regularly jailed in Europe for blasphemy, upsetting people, 'hate' speech, etc. The EU has never been a solid proponent of human rights. There's a reason the American revolution happened (And is arguably more needed than ever) > storming the congress, federal intervention and overturning a democratically elected president and questioning the electoral process are defined as anti-democratic acts, which are a criminal offense. Democracy is not synonymous with human rights.
