I would like to hear some positive stories from the EU Commission and the Council of the European Union.

Often it appears to me that the EU Parliament has far more nice stories to tell and the Commission and the Council are trying to stop the good ideas from the Parliament. I dislike that the Parliament has no legislative initiative rights.

Please tell me nice stories of the Commission and the Council.

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.
