Complaining about getting a lot of #deaththreats ? Why not:
- avoid threatening invaded countries to cut them off vital communications
- stop paying #extremists in #europeanelections
- avoid taking away the lifes of thousands of families of #federalworkers
- stay out of the #personaldata of millions of #citizens
And simply:
- stick to stupid things like making #tesla's or flying to #mars

Opinion about @eu:´It is time for the newly-elected parliament to exercise its own democratic mandate by ensuring that the new commissioners prioritise democracy as a central value both at EU level and in the member states.´

European Commission fails to present a team on time
The European Union @eu is primarily governed by a "European Commission". The latter is a college of 27 people who jointly exercise the executive powers at the Union [confederal] level. It operates as a cabinet government, with one member ("Commissioner") per country – including Slovenia:
"Ljubljana is the only EU government yet to formally nominate a commissioner after swapping its male candidate Tomaž Vesel for a woman, Marta Kos. Kos’ nomination isn’t complete until a parliamentary committee signs off on it. That committee is chaired by a Janša ally, whose party is refusing to schedule the meeting, as things stand. […] The opposition […] wants to force the government to say the quiet part out loud: that Vesel didn’t want to resign but was forced to by Golob, who himself was pressured by von der Leyen."

1/4 🚨 This week, media reported about another European Parliament MEP being targeted by #spyware - just two weeks before the #EuropeanElections took place.
The attack shows:
❌ no one is immune to intrusive #surveillance
❌we need an EU-wide ban on spyware

European Continuity
Today, the French Parliament elected Yaël Braun-Pivet (sitting with the minority Macronist group) as its President. The same person as before the parliamentary elections.
Today, the European Parliament elected Ursula von der Leyen (European People's Party Group, or EPP) as the president of the European Commission. The same person as before the parliamentary elections.
The new Members of the European Parliament had their first session on Tuesday, which renewed the President term of Roberta Metsola #EPP.

The new Members of the European Parliament had their first session on Tuesday, which reconducted the President: Roberta Metsola (European People's Party Group, or EPP).
Today, one hour from now, starts a secret ballot on who to hold presidency of the European Commission. Incumbent Ursula von der Leyen is a candidate. She also is an #EPP #MEP. Nobody else is expected to win.

The election of a #CentreLeft leader goes against the tide of recent #EuropeanElections, in which the #FarRight has made huge strides.
In last month’s European parliament elections, #PopulistParties made significant gains in countries including #Italy, #France, #Austria, #Hungary and #Germany. #UK #UKElections2024

The 2024 European Parliament elections marked a significant rightward shift. With right-wing parties gaining ground, what does this mean for the future of the EU? 🗳️🇪🇺 #EuropeanElections #EU #RightWingRise https://www.ryanjhite.com/2024/06/14/europes-political-shift-to-the-right-analyzing-the-2024-european-parliament-elections/
Back from Castlebar after a few days counting votes in the European elections. It was fun, fascinating, exhausting
I was always a fan of the PR-STV system but had never seen it from the inside out. It makes for great wonkish drama

#Germans under 25 gave the #AfD 16% of their vote in the #EuropeanElections, with particular support in the east.
All the young Germans approached by the Guardian in #Brandenburg talked about their anxiety about the war in #Ukraine, with many criticising the governing parties for weapons shipments and expressing angst that they or their peers could one day be called on to fight. #Germany #EU

@MarvinFreeman 🇮🇹 Access to abortion has been an issue for the past 20 years and #GiorgiaMeloni didn't improve nor did she worsen it.

🇪🇺 With inflation spiking all over Europe lower classes concern isn't protecting the rights of the minorities, rather putting food on the table. Economy hardship constitutes the main factor in favor of a change of government.

@MarvinFreeman The article mentions several key points, but unfortunately it doesn't elaborate further.
🇫🇷 The focus of debate is fascism. No-one seems to notice that agricultural policies are defined by the EU and the only party representing this population is RN (extreme right). Farmers are getting poorer.
🇮🇹 The conservative right of FdI, born from Mussolini's ashes, is ruling since almost 2 years and the country isn't yet a totalitarian state.

I just found out Mick Wallace has also been eliminated from the #europeanelections and it’s made my day again!
The Dutch "voting from abroad" results (citizens living abroad and voting by mail) for the #europeanelections are now available.
Unsurprisingly Dutch people abroad vote less racist overall. Still good to see it confirmed.
It's uplifting that even candidate number four (@kimvsparrentak) on the GL/PvdA list received more direct votes than Geert Wilders (1289 vs 1120). These are the little bits of positivity we need. Thanks people! 🙂

🇬🇧🚨 Council to greenlight #Chatcontrol 2.0 next week! 🚨
Don‘t let them get away with quietly pushing this through right after the #EuropeanElections. Sound the alarm and contact the representatives of your government NOW!
