Michael Roth and Christina Kampmann look like good team for vacant leadership of German social democrats. Roth has credentials in foreign affairs, wants to introduce #EU passport and further EU integration. Finally! Europe needs to deal with the non-representation of voters living in other EU states. In Austria, 15% of population is deprived of rights to vote on state and federal level. I live here >7 years, and if I had choice, I would vote in Austria instead of Germany.

1. Ursula Von der Leyen went down the drain in Germany because of corruption, has no legimation anyway to run EU commission, as EPP insisted on their shitty Spitzenkandidat system that they now bury
2. Greens were largest winners of election along with liberals. How come there is no Green in the postenschacher?
3. Ska Keller is right. Show them the bloody finger.

I hope S&D and Greens are not subscribing to these "results" in parliament.

Amen.

Jean-Claude Juncker zerlegt den Wendehals Teilzeiteuropäer Kurz im Standard-Interview: https://derstandard.at/2000103198297/Juncker-zu-Kurz-Anwuerfe-gegen-EU-sind-voellig-daneben

The #EU 🇪🇺 could force #Ireland 🇮🇪 to eat feces as their only source of sustenance & many Irish folks would either find a way to convince themselves it was somehow in their best interests to do so, or they'd all just hop aboard the #CollectiveAmnesiaTrain.

@alexl don't get me wrong, I'm no uncritical fan of the #EU. There are many legitimate criticisms of its current "neoliberal" shape. But it's a #federation, it's taken that shape because it's member governments were and are still mired in "neoliberalist" assumptions. That doesn't mean important #PublicInterest threat fires can't be put out at EU level, and fighting them there avoids from having to fight the same fires over and over in multiple countries.

@kaikatsu Ok. The other day I posted a link to an #ActOut podcast discussing the #NewsGuard soft censorship system run by US neo-cons. Is #EUnomia the #EU version of the same thing?

Frankly, Britain has no right to screw up EU27 over the upcoming European elections. #EU should not submit to this "can we get an extension bullshit". Two bloody years have passed, and everyone knew the timeline.

Wir bereiten eine Liste vor mit allen EU-basierten Instanzen von #Pleroma, #Mastodon, #GNUSocial, #Peertube, #Funkwhale und anderen Diensten.

While Austria's fascist interior minister keeps blowing the xenophobic horns, happily supported by right-wing asswipe Kurz, #EU flexes muscles and starts process against Austria for denying benefits to foreign children.

Tusk and Tajani have basically said they assume Guaidó the only democratically validated mandate. Their tweets are diplomatically versed, they probably need to wait for all #EU member states to agree on the wording before an official endorsement. Fingers crossed.

It would be ridiculous if the ECJ ruled that Britain can unilaterally withdraw from #Brexit. This shithole government from Cameron to May created a massive economic and moral damage to the #EU - so if they decide to cancel the circus after two years, they should be held accountable and pay to the EU, before the European Council agrees to the withdrawal.
