Resum

In a handful of months in 2020 and 2021, the constitutional courts of Germany, Poland and Romania decided cases whose resolution depended on how the relations between national constitutional law and European Union law were articulated. The temporal overlap, the robust affirmation of national constitutional identity as a reflection of the unconditional supremacy of the national constitution and as a limit to the force of European law, and finally, that the Polish and Romanian courts invoked the jurisprudence of the German court seemed to confirm the crisis of the authority of Union law. The European Commission and the Court of Justice were quick to react, upping the ante by means of raising an even stronger claim of ultimate authority of supranational law. To the point that the European Court of Justice was one step away from transforming the principle of primacy into a principle of supremacy of European Union law. After an analysis of the three judicial sagas, some conclusions regarding the relationship between normative orders in the European legal space are drawn.
