  1. @j_j The EPP controls a majority of governments which control the EU via both its executive (the European Council) and its legislative, the #WTFIsTheCouncil and the lower chamber, the European Parliament in which they've been the no. 1 party for the last 5 consecutive election cycles. That's a quarter of a century in which a majority of EUropeans have given them control over the EU. #YouVotedForIt or as we say in Iberia: a disfrutar lo votado.

    @DrJLecter @EUCommission

  2. Not linking to #PoliticoIsTrash, but this from the leaked letter in which the EU member statelets (your government and mine) threaten to sue the Commission for signing an agreement to let the European Parliament breathe near EU trade legislation is peak #WTFistheCouncil

  3. *sigh* I can't even dunk on #YallQaeda for having 0 clue about how EU law is made and not knowing #WTFistheCouncil because neither do most EUropeans.

    Same vibes as for Qatargate:

  8. @HennaVirkkunen Good to see there are no more #FrugalsInTrenches Should have invested in it years ago when Portugal alerted about submarine infrastructure vulnerabilities. The Portuguese chairmanship (I'm not calling it presidency) of #WTFistheCouncil is vindicated.

  9. @rodrigo_silva @EUCommission The "guys" in question are our national governments in the two Councils, the EU doesn't have its own money and doesn't control their public broadcasters. 💶⚖️ But yes, we already have a successful model to build on, #ARTE is availabe in 6 languages. EBUTV can come larer. So now our governments need to know we want the EU to have a proper budget to finance it. #MFFbutNotTheFunKind

  10. Queridos periodistas 🇪🇺 , pensad en su recordatorio semi-regular de que el procedimiento para sancionar a un estadito miembro de la UE en virtud del Artículo 7 implica no uno, sino dos votos y sólo el voto final requiere unanimidad. Ambos Consejos votan, y la votación preliminar en El Otro Consejo no necesita unanimidad para aprobarse, sólo mayoría cualificada. #WTFistheCouncil

    Un besito de los extremistas liberales, Ľuboš. 😽

    🇪🇺 citizens only; anglos, do not interract.

  12. @gimulnautti @REA Is it really the Commission that needs to take note of that? Who decides how to finance it? #WTFistheCouncil
    Member statelets in the Council: "Spending... mmmmoney? At EU LEVEL???" #frugals

  13. Brace yourselves, the #EuropeanCommission boycotts #Orbán toots are coming and with them the call to actually DO something useful/Article 7 Orbán to the wrong institution. #WTFistheCouncil

  14. The article that goes with the #CounciloftheEU tracker is full of interesting details. It seems that life (and his cholesterol levels) will end up ridding us of Orbán's blackmail veto faster than #EUreform but at least they've widened the scope to include other shitehouse manoeuvres like Bulgaria bullying North Macedonia during the accession process.
