Orbán might be gone - but our biggest problem remains ❌

We’re still slaves to the veto.

This is not about getting a man like him out of office, is about a systemic change in how the EU takes decisions.

Without moving to a qualified majority voting in foreign policy, we’ll still be weak.

It’s time to do something about it. Help us build a better European Union! We need to have one strong voice across the world.

Damian Boeselager, MEP Volt

"The bill in question is one of two passed by the City Council last month that were championed by #Jewish #lawmakers and leaders who were unnerved by pro-#Palestinian #protests targeting #synagogues. A bill proposed by Speaker #JulieMenin that applies to protests outside #housesofworship passed with a #veto-proof supermajority, but a second bill that applies to protests near “#educationalfacilities” passed with enough “no” votes for #Mamdani to be able to strike it down.

Mamdani has indicated concerns about the legislation but not his plans about whether to sign it."

Hongarije maakt zich op voor verkiezingsuitslag

Hongarije is vandaag naar de stembus gegaan en heeft gekozen voor een nieuwe president. De uitslag is ook voor Nederland relevant. In de Europese Unie kan één land bepaalde belangrijke besluiten blokkeren met een veto, en Hongarije doet dat geregeld. De vraag is dus niet alleen wie er wint in Boedapest, maar ook wat dat betekent voor besluiten in Brussel waar Den Haag op wacht.
