"Defeated by one vote" = "Too many authoritarians in the #EUParliament"

#ChatControl #EU #EuropeanUnion

I've watched the #ChatControl session live, which was the first #EUParliament plenary session I've ever watched, and I have questions.

Or, generally speaking: Are we sure that, even if the elected MEPs are the ones we voted for, they actually submit correct votes? Not because they're secretly evil, but because the whole voting process seems so confusing and user-hostile.

I really need to learn more about it all works

I have contacted my MP's to fight this, please consider doing the same if you live in the EU.

The most important reservoir of #naturalgas is on fire. #Israel attached #Iran #LNGplant and, also, #Qatar reservoirs are on fire.

Europe will pay a great price for this and runs the risk of a gas shortage EVEN SO, NO SANCTIONS, NOTHING TOWARDS ISRAEL!!

As an EU citizen I'm pretty tired of the EU COMMISSION inaction!!

There is a #petition to full suspension of the #EU-Israel Association Agreement in view of Israel’s violations of human rights.

They need 1 million signatures from 7 EU Countries within January 2027. 🔥 At the being moment, more than 550000 signatures have been collected 🔥 The initiative is supported by the Left of the #EUParliament! Let's sign/spread the word!!

Isr@el takes advantage by both economic and political support by EU. As citizens we can pressure them to stop at leat part of the money going to Tel Aviv...🤬

Question: Does anyone know when this EU Parliament hearing took place? The video was uploaded to Youtube yesterday, but I can’t find information about it anywhere. Any resistance to this war is not widely reported. (Obviously) #euparliament #iran

Love the smell of caution in the morning 😼 According to an internal email seen by POLITICO, the European Parliament disabled built‑in AI features on lawmakers’ work tablets after IT said it can’t guarantee the tools’ data security—some use cloud services, sending data off-device. Sensible… or just the first hairball?
