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."

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

@MarvinFreeman 🇮🇹 Access to abortion has been an issue for the past 20 years and #GiorgiaMeloni didn't improve nor did she worsen it.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/23/world/europe/italy-abortion-law-meloni.html🇪🇺 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.

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! 🙂

The heart always in the hand
but the money is burntThe only thing that helps is to vote
because we can count on them to noteWell someone must have thought wrong
spent too much time being stupid and strongThe cookie is now crumbling
because the people are just snobbishingNow we all have to hope this
that the awakening will kissOff to new shores
Hate should not go to extremerssi_irini

Thoughts on the #EuropeanElections
Even when things did not go as we would have hoped, we know that we built communities ready to be nurtured and transformed into something even more powerful, into people power.
We’ll welcome for the first time to the European Parliament Green MEPs from Slovenia, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, and welcome back Italian MEPs after 15 years!
