The question is why @europarl_en allows this to happen. Instead of individual MEPs fighting the battle for transparency and accountability, there should be an institutional response. If Parliament doesn’t step up to the plate, EU democracy is in the danger zone
RT @daniel_freund: EU-Commission refuses to share the rule of law correspondence with Hungary with the European Parliament.

Slight correction to @vrailas: the spyware scandal is very much European competence. That is why @europarl_en @EP_PegaInquiry is investigating. Apart from violating EU laws, ao #GDPR, MEPs and @EU_Commission officials were targeted. And natl gvts are part of the Council.

Ter Apel is the Dutch Moria, and it’s against EU law.
For months now, asylum applicants coming to the Netherlands, including women and children, were “received” with no roof over their head and no privacy whatsoever.
Will the @EU_Commission start an infringement procedure?

In de VS vraagt politie data op als ‘bewijs’ in abortuszaken. In onderhandelingen met de @EU_Commission vraagt de VS toegang voor hun politiediensten tot data die een Europa opgeslagen is. Een linke cocktail!

American cops are demanding ‘evidence’ from tech companies, when hunting women seeking an abortion.
At the same time, the US is forcing an agreement down Europe’s throat that may give those same police acces to data stored in Europe. Our questions to @EU_Commission need answers!
