This may be far fetched, but I was thinking, since the official requirements for #Proctorio include only #Microsoft #Edge and #Google #Chrome browsers 🇺🇸 , do you think I could file a complaint to the Ombudswoman for political discrimination, in case an individual upholds EU digital sovereignty values?

The extension can be installed on all chromium-based browser, such as Brave and Opera 🇪🇺 , but it's not guaranteed to work.

Correct answer: B

According to Rule 131 of the Rules Of Procedure of the European Parliament, "the motion of censure shall be adopted if it secures a two-thirds majority of the votes cast, representing a majority of the component Members of Parliament".

Last motion of censure against the Von der Leyen Commission was tabled by The Patriots for Europe in January 2026 and rejected.

The correct answer here was…. 55% of member states (so 15 out of 27) representing at least 65% of the EU population.

Qualified majority is the voting system most frequently used in the Council, with about 80% of all EU legislation adopted through it.
This is because a qualified majority applies when the Council takes decisions under the ordinary legislative procedure, which is the primary decision-making process for adopting EU laws.

In the Council of the European Union, where the EU Member States meet, decisions are often made by what we call "Qualified Majority Voting", or QMV. How many votes are needed to pass a law under QMV?

Most of you got the answer right!
There are in fact more steps to the European Citizen initiative, but this is all I could fit in the short poll field of Mastodon.
Before you even launch an initiative, you have to find 7 EU citizens living in 7 different EU countries to join your cause.
Once the initiative is registered for voting you need 1 million signatures from at least 7 EU countries, and a minimum threshold in those.
All the steps are listed here:
