🚨 Federalist MEPs from Volt call for treaty reform ahead of Thursday's EU summit. Their nine-point action plan includes stripping Hungary of voting rights, making Kaja Kallas EU foreign minister, creating a European army, and preparing for enlargement.

@noelreports and since Zorban has go go see Macron, a good push towards art7.2 for hungary might be the leverage needed to make him agree to the last stuff
In the EU we really need to change the voting rules, you cant have an unanimity system with a zillion members
@Edizionilazio @noelreports We also need more initiatives that don't require everyone to participate. Hungary blocks support to Ukraine? OK, then their contribution to EU budget won't be used for that, but everyone else's will. Ireland blocks bans on sending EU citizen data to US? OK, then Irish citizen data can be sent there, but everyone else's data can't.
@elgregor at a national level countries can ban data sharing with the us, so if everyone wanted they can put a law on it.
@elgregor its a slippery slope, if you do that for one thing then everyone wants an exception on everything and its anarchy (and in hungary case they arent net contributors so they should be put in place). If you have little groups doing one thing and others doing another its not an Union and its a waste of €
Look at this coalition of the willing, it becomes each country's money and some cant afford it even if they would want to so things dont move forward, while the EU budget can swing it
