We don't want peace with fascists.
I’m not surprised. It saddens me to say that the European Commission is now negotiating even with values and human rights.
@ec.europa.eu this is madness
@claesdevreese.bsky.social It’s using business to control another countries. Seems like a modern form of ”mercantilism” to some extents. The question is though: Can countries abroad tell apart interests of American businesses from US geopolitical interests? IMO there has hardly been a differnce […]
This shows clearly how Europe is powerless in the defense of its values in the face a powerful US. If the EU continues down this path, it won't have any values left to defend...
If 'rule of law' becomes a bargaining chip then democracy is for sale as well.
It's always been like that, hasn't it. Privacy, GDPR. Completely agree that it shouldn't be like that.
European commission is commiting suicide. X and tiktok are massive destruction weapons against democracy and EU.

Wtf @ec.europa.eu???
