  2. 🌍 European elections signal a pushback against far-right populism. Romania's centrist victory and Portugal's political shifts highlight changing tides.

  3. 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.´

  4. 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."

  5. 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

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Lawmakers across the EU call on EU Council to reject the Chat Control proposal

    The following letter by Members of Parliament from across the EU has been sent today (and is still open for signatures):

    🚨 Council is to greenlight #Chatcontrol 2.0 on Thursday! 🚨 …

  9. 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

  10. @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.

  11. @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.

  12. 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! 🙂

  13. 🇬🇧🚨 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!

  14. Many politicians danced
    others preferred to entrench

    The result was dumb
    many voters now numb

    Who punished themselves now
    let's see who can take it and how

    But the future will show in the end
    because many will tend to repent

  15. The heart always in the hand
    but the money is burnt

    The only thing that helps is to vote
    because we can count on them to note

    Well someone must have thought wrong
    spent too much time being stupid and strong

    The cookie is now crumbling
    because the people are just snobbishing

    Now we all have to hope this
    that the awakening will kiss

    Off to new shores
    Hate should not go to extremers

  16. Knocking back some headlines of “far right surge” to explain “patchwork” outcome, varying from country to country across #Europe

    Far right (about 15% of next Parliament) made dramatic gains in France and Belgium, but elsewhere center parties (65%) held

  17. 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!
