❌NO Transnational Lists for 2024 elections❌
This is bad news for European democracy: European voters won't be able to vote for a European party on a European list next year.
Why?
Because member states don't want you to. /1 https://t.co/II4enIrJtZ

Re Already on June 9, one year before the European elections in 2024, the deadline had passed to make changes to the electoral laws. + yesterday's General Affairs Council, came up with no result. Now, it might take years to bring transnational lists forward again. /2

Re A central demand of the citizens at Future Conference will thus not be implemented. They had called for "Union-wide electoral lists with candidates from different EU states." This legislative proposal had also been adopted by the European Parliament on May 3, 2022. /3

Re Who's to blame?
EU member states are unwilling to take seriously the wishes of the European citizens for a real European election. This is a huge disappointment and stands in stark contrast to pro-European lip service paid by numerous European leaders. /4

Re European Parliament will keep up the pressure so that transnational lists for the 2029 European elections will finally become a European reality. /end

RT Stefano Bottoni
🇭🇺 PM Viktor Orban denied Putin status of war criminal, called Ukraine a non-sovereign entity, a failed state puppet of collective West, and dismissed Wagner’s mutiny as irrelevant. I have never seen a 🇭🇺 PM so proudly behaving like a 🇷🇺 agent of influence. Bad times coming… https://t.co/mg3HRvKU4O

What Orban talks about in interviews:

Q:
What were your feelings when Prigozhin marched towards Moscow?
Orban:
"I don't see much significance in this event."
Q:
Is Putin a war criminal?
Orban:
"No."
What a bizarre interview with Viktor Orban.

A lot is happening in #Poland.
