The assumption there is that “princes are not a terror to the good work”, whereas the usurpers at the EU are precisely that. Obey the power that agrees with God, ignore the power that doesn’t.
Alex, Paul does not differentiate like you do. Ha makes a sweeping generlaization in the very opening of Romans 13 "Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God." Nowhere does he say that there are bad governments.
