Is there any country in Europe not passing authoritarian laws?

In Sweden the current government is on its way to defund the largest opposition party.

The swedish riksdag recebtly (with broad support) changed the constitution to limit the freedom of speech.

Poland and Hungary are shitfests, with almost complete political control of the justice system.

Spain has increased the ability to give large civil fines, seemingly disconnected from the regular juridical process (please correct me on this one. My Spanish is sub-par).

Edit: my poland name-calling was apparently uncalled for. There are other bad things going on, with Kaczyński at the rudder.
