Summary/Abstract: Nuclear option or also value infringement. These slogans are sometimes linked to proceedings under Article 7 of the Treaty on the EU, which allows the Union to defend its values in the event of shortcomings in Member States. So far in practice, however, only proceedings under the first, preventive paragraph have been initiated. The article focuses on the evolution of the text of the provision in question, the associated political capital invested and compares the ambitions thus identified to existing practice results.
