Well, the larger point about EU membership is all about how one of the EU’s central principles is the respect for and promotion of human rights. It’s that exact issue that was always cited as such a sticking point preventing Turkish membership (albeit with a healthy dose of racism and Islamophobia, but concern for human rights was also a legitimate grievance). If a country applying for membership was anything like Poland or Hungary today, they’d be rejected out of hand, no doubt about it at all. But now the EU is stuck with them, having accepted them during saner years, and the legitimacy of the EU’s commitment to human rights suffers for it. And both of these countries are rotting fast – this will not be the end of it. This is not an aberration or a one-off “every country passes a stupid law every now and then” moment – this Holocaust law is a continuation of a prolonged multi-year erosion of democracy and human rights in Poland, and shouldn’t have been unexpected at all.
