How many times, old man?

Until it gets through, there's nothing preventing them from doing it times and times again.

[-] Rayspekt@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Sadly yes :/

Who elected von der Leyen?

[-] nao@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

the members of the eu parliament

So, not me and you. So-called representational democracy which is known to be deeply corrupt is very far removed from the rule of the people.

Why isn't this banned in constitutions? That's the only way to stop them trying

There should be a minimum wait time until you're allowed to resubmit.

But the fascists want to spy, how else are they supposed to control our thoughts? :((

I mean, ideally, you shouldn't be able to submit a bill that not only goes against all (I'd hope) national constitutions, but also violates fundamental rights as established by the European Court of Justice.

But oh well, let's hope that we can stop this before it becomes law, and if it does, that its implementation gets delayed enough for a hopefully sane judiciary to strike this down.

I strongly disagree. That would put EU in a deadlock. It is important that new regulation may be passed top-down to improve legislation in all states.

I tend to align my personal view largely with the German decision in Solange I/II; as long as the EU provides the same protection of fundamental rights as the national constitution (Grundgesetz in germany's case), it supercedes review under national constitutional courts.

My point here was that they're pushing a bill that clearly goes against fundamental rights recognized by national constitutions and EU law.

edit: I presume you have in mind the recent-ish controversy with Poland. I'll agree with you that that one is counterproductive.

Until people are tired, not paying attention or it is watered down enough that it passes. And trust me, it will pass. It's a known formula.
