Up until today, 623 lobbying organizations have been suspended from the EU transparency register (including BlackRock)

Good!

We need EU lobbying rules to be controlled and enforced!

It's #EUCO today. 26 heads of democratic EU states and governments are convening in Brussels.

And Viktor Orban. With veto power.

What changes Germans want from EU - according to latest study by @BoellStiftung:

1⃣ No more national vetoes
2⃣ More transparency in EU institutions
3⃣ Strengthening the rule of law

Let's do it!

You can watch Hungary's international reputation being destroyed by the Orban government in real-time.

It's such a shame.
RT @zoltanspox: 1/3 "It is outrageous that the @StateDept is dealing with the domestic affairs of other countries and writing reports on the human rights and other situations of foreign states on the basis of all kinds of one-sided information," FM Szijjártó said in Sarajevo.

Orban government willing to give up on 22 billion Euros of EU funding - meant for Hungarian citizens, because they want to keep violating fundamental rights of LGBTQI+ people.

It's mind-blowing.

@UEFA @Telexhu deleted my tweet stating otherwise (see screenshot below). Apparently, the false statement about authorized use of Greater Hungary flags came from the Hungarian Football Association. This sparked so much outrage that UEFA corrected their statement. 🤦‍♂️

"UEFA has not authorised the use of such flags or banners at any level, and the presence of such flags and banners may therefore lead to disciplinary consequences", says @UEFA about Greater Hungary flags in a statement according to @Telexhu.
