@Schouten_B @EUCommission The neighbouring countires whose lands he keeps putting on his troll map and with whom he regularly does performative irredentist bullshit also have significant urban populations who hate him and parties like PS in Slovakia should have taken advantage a bit more.
It's not hard by accident, it's "hard" by design. Almost nobody voting for these goverments knows THEY are in charge in the EU, hence @m1rk0 asking vdL about it instead of Merz. #WTFIsTheCouncil is convenient.

@Schouten_B @EUCommission @m1rk0 Former MEP Ruiz Devesa (he of the transnational lists member statelets illegally refuse to negotiate with the Parliament to run the clock down before the 2029 elections): "You can just DO things." Treating the constitution of your legal order and its provisions about "sincere cooperation" as an inconvenient nuisance hollows out that legal order rendering it meaningless. The Single Market collapses without that legal order.
