It seems the War Hawks in Brussels have used the War in Ukraine as an opportunity to subtly incorporate Defence Spending into the new Fiscal Rules. Member States are being asked to "build up Defence capabilities" - This is shameful and should be called out - It's Warmongering....

The #EU loves to boast about its Democracy but why does one need 70,000 signatures to stand for EU elections in #Denmark if they are not in an established Political Party..? Is this a deliberate attempt to freeze out alternative voices..? Is this the EU idea of Democracy..?
