I'm personally agnostic on the direct election of the #eucommission President proposal, I'm open to reading both sides arguments and I sympathise with their fear of losing sovereignty. #Sovereignty is important. It's just that #UE member state politicians are so used to having this cosy arrangement that they refuse to be honest with voters about the (overwhelmingly advantageous) tradeoffs of pooling sovereignty as a member of the #EuropeanUnion
So cry me a river.

#Hungary just got the latest #ruleoflaw #memo from #Brussels/#Strasbourg. 6 out of 8 not fulfilled. #Hungarian #government #populist #bullshitbingo about demands not even mentioned. Also asking if #Hungarians' #money was sent to #Ukraine instead.
Heavily criticized #law on the #employment status of #teachers passed with 2/3 #govt #majority. #Opposition helpless against that.
#EUCommission wants the law text. Wouldn't be surprised if they get a customized version.

Our governments biggest nightmare with regards to #EU institutional reform is the prospect of a bunch of Ursula von der Leyens touring #Europe in campaign mode and getting democratic legitimacy from voters who might start to realise just how important EU institutions are for their future. I'm personally agnostic on the directly elected #eucommission proposal and even sympathetic to their #sovereignty concerns. It's important, even if they try to avoid The Talk.

As negotiators on the UK rejoining the #Horizon research program remain deadlocked, Mujtaba Rahman, (Eurasia Group) observes that:
'Brussels sees little reason to reward the UK simply for delivering on its treaty commitments. The fact is, life as a ‘third country’ outside the EU is tough, as the ongoing friction over e-passport gates, Horizon, euro clearing & rules of origin clearly demonstrates'.
At #EUCommission, the feeling is likely 'you wanted out, so this is what out looks like'!

I feel like I have to rant about the #EUCommission's plans to scan everybody's messages by breaking #endtoendencryption.
This EU has been a beacon of hope and democracy for decades. It has in place one of the best data protection laws in the world and yet almost ALL of its leaders want to take away their citizens' right to privacy. The implementation of #Chatcontrol would put the EU's privacy rights on one level with countries such as China, where private messaging is not allowed either. 1/
