@EUCommission THE LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS ARE DELIBERATELY DISCRIMINATORY TOWARDS IRISH APPLICANTS

@humanhorseshoes @EUCommission as is the requirement of an university degree. As if people with a good and actually much more practical education would be less worthy to have a word in the government...

@BlackWolf @humanhorseshoes @EUCommission The nature of the work is anything but practical, so it makes sense to ask for a university degree.

@Gina @BlackWolf @EUCommission again for the stupid, the requirement to be B2 in two EU languages and EXCLUDE English, an official language of Ireland, and the reason that English is an officual EU language post Brexit because “too many people speak” English EXCLUDES Irish people by default

@humanhorseshoes

I do not know whether you maliciously spread wrong information, but your statement is not true.

It is specifically stated that English is allowed as one of the two languages.

Apart from that, it is kinda weird that you compare yourself with a russian minority in the Baltics, as the russian minority mostly immigrated there during the solviet era (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russians_in_Estonia)

@mitgitumgekippt Also accusing me of "maliciously spreading misinformation" is defamatory so I would ask you to withdraw that slur
