  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!

    38.0

    20世紀的歷史告訴我們,
    極左的共產主義與極右的法西斯,
    都給人類帶來了深重災難。
    因爲都尋求絕對的權力與控制,
    曾經,共產黨反法西斯,法西斯也抓共產黨。
    但它們本質都是一丘之貉的極權專制,
    是憲政民主的自由國家的巨大威脅。

    Musk說德國的AfD的政策don't sound extremist。
    因爲Musk支持的Trump背後的極右狂熱川粉們,
    要遠比歐盟中的一些極右政黨還要右的多,
    他們距離法西斯的距離只有幾步之遙而已。

    歐洲議會選舉,不同國家情況不一樣。
    但在德國和法國,近些年右翼崛起的趨勢非常明顯。
    暗自偷笑的應該是俄羅斯和中國了,
    俄中可能會繼續採取分化歐盟,尋找破口的策略。

    想到過去歐洲綏靖的歷史,未來也許會很波折,
    請各位支持自由民主的朋友們要有心理準備。

  20. If you think that Europe will face climate chaos with fully working and strong democratic structures, think again, it seems possible that this won’t be the case. Of course it would be naive to think that the EU ever had such structures, but it’s true that whatever structures it has can be weakened, especially from the inside. The same applies for a cohesive society.

  21. @lrz 12,5% is a super low abstention percentage. If I recall correctly, voting is mandatory in Belgium, so that's why. What happens to the ones who didn't vote? Are they financially sanctioned?

  23. @GeofCox @therightarticle Interesting!

    Here in Spain, as far as I understand, the greens have joined forces with some other socialist-minded groups in the form of "Sumar". The right call this a watermelon party, green on the outside and red on the inside. I don't mind that! 🍉

    #Sumar did OK in the #europeanelections, but the brown-shirts, #Vox, got twice the Sumar vote. Those fascist voters would have voted right-wing PP without Vox.

  24. #europeanElections results:
    5 seats for Volt!

    Volt Nederland did get 2 seats! (With 1 stolen from the PVV, compared to the exit polls.)
    Volt Deutschland, barely, got 3 seats.

    Every Volt vote did count, in both countries!
    Thanks everyone for voting!

  25. It's ironic that Nigel Farage, one of Britain's most rabid, jack-booted racists would be delighted to be hob-nobbing with the new cabal of fascist thugs elected to the European Parliament.

  26. Nyt on käyty äänestämässä ja ääneni sai #liberaalipuolue . Ei ollu pahemmin vaihtoehtoja itsellä + vaalikoneiden kysymykset ovat olleet vaaleista toiseen aivan perseestä, niin en käyttänyt vaalikoneita...

  27. I’m working as the polling station supervisor of my little town, #RivaLigure, #Italy. Alongside the #EuropeanParliament, we are also electing the new city council. There is a huge competition: only one civic list 🚀

    Glad to have nice people as scrutineers, and my dad is the polling station president. I was expecting the worst, but actually it’s not bad at all—so far. Still ~26 hours to go! 🤯

  28. For the European Parliament elections this weekend, one might imagine the important topics would be the climate emergency and the threat of spreading Russian aggression.

    Spain's Vox party won't let themselves be bothered by such trivialities. Their followers are much more concerned what other people do with their own bodies. 🤦

    Embarrassing.

  29. CW: European elections 2024

    This is a weird day for me. I am in the Netherlands on the day of the European Elections, but I already voted weeks ago, when I delivered my ballot to the Dutch Embassy in Singapore.

    The Hague had already sent me my voter pass before I even knew that I'd be moving in May, so I figured that I might as well use it. I'm super impressed with how easy it has been to vote from abroad, and how smooth and user-friendly the system is!

    Anyway.

    If you haven't voted yet, go vote!

    P.S. Today marks 80 years after D-Day. Just sayin'...
