Let‘s not use the word „dictatorial“ in an extremely inflationary way. You can call it a government PR spin if you want, but I think no country in the EU is anywhere close to anything like North Korea or even Belarus.

If anything, it's "dictatorial" in the Sacha Baron Cohen "The Dictator" sense: "Victory! We won! We forced them to include us ...by acquiescing to their demands."
