"...In a high-risk political gamble, less than two months before #Paris hosts the #Olympics, he said lower house elections would be called for June 30, with a second-round vote on July 7..."
Civic Coalition won their 1st #elections since 2014 (!) #EUElections, 38.2%, 21 seats out of 53
PiS - 33.9%, but just 2 seats less than KO
Confederation - sensationally won 3rd place, I think their best ever, 11.9%, 6 seats
Third Way - 8.2%, 4 seats - disappointment imho
The Left - 6.6%, 3 seats, also a bit low but that's typical of them
Non-Partisan 0.8%
PolExit (LOL) 0.3%
Others 0.1%
Not bad 👍 PiS is finally down to #2, and with a pretty big difference 😏 Though pretty bad for the center-right and left coalition partners 🫤 And the far-right Confederation did really good too…
And he said that apparently things aren't looking good in France and Germany? #EUElections 🇵🇱🇪🇺
Inaczej to wygląda w przypadku kanałów informacyjnych, gdzie mamy ozdobniki nad belkami, po prawej stronie, niezależnie od logo. O ile są wyświetlane, bo np. TVN24 nie wyświetla ich non-stop 😉 #wybory#eurowybory#EUElections#EuropeanElections
The #EuropeanParliament is the only directly elected transnational assembly in the world. Almost 350 mio people are voting for the 720 members in the second-largest democratic election in the world.
Right-wing extremists are threatening our democratic achievements. Vote, so that their votes are not the only ones! Only democracy can bring us to reforms for even more democracy. Don't let the far-right climate deniers delete our lives, our planet! https://elections.europa.eu/en/how-elections-work/ #EUElections#elections
Good from Desmog on the far right EU election MEP candidates spreading manure about food and farming. Some cast doubt on the reality of climate science, while others painted EU regulators as part of an authoritarian “sect” wishing to control citizens through green measures.
"This is a sad & sobering moment for all progressive Europeans. For Europe’s Muslims & racial and ethnic minorities, it is a time of deep personal anxiety. Many feel betrayed and abandoned, not just by EU politicians and policymakers – they never cared much for us anyway – but by large parts of the media and EU “experts” who failed to see the dangers of a far-right Europe, played down the threat, or deliberately looked the other way"

"The fact that racism, discrimination and xenophobia are corroding European democracy from within, creating societal divisions and political polarisation, is rarely discussed in “Brussels so white”. Neither is the inconvenient truth that Europe’s centre-right and liberal politicians have openly or tacitly embraced the extremists’ political agenda and xenophobic view of the world"

Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
But a press release or longer text for transparency would be fine. Many people don't know why your old instance is given up. And we are curious if we'll find only the commission on Mastodon or more organisations and important politicians?
In the comments here you see: we need answers to understand all that.
💡 Last month, the DMA came into force and we launched a website about #DeviceNeutrality, the #EU parliament voted the #CRA and the #PLD, and we released a guide to get active for the upcoming 🇪🇺 #EUelections. 🚀
