I guess the #EuropeanCommission won't sanction Germany for the excessive use of police violence. Just like they did with #Georgia.

Clashes erupt as Bulgarian nationalists march against the euro.

Several thousand people rallied outside Bulgaria's central bank and the European Commission building in Sofia to protest government plans to introduce the euro as official currency.

The country still needs to meet an extended inflation target before its eurozone bid can be examined.

40+ civil society organisations, across the EU and the US, have an urgent message for the #EuropeanCommission and President Von der Leyen: Now is the time to stand up to bullying by #BigTech and its allies in the #Trump administration.

Europe must commit to strong enforcement of the #DSA, #DMA and other digital laws to protect people, our #democracy and #economy

Read our open letter https://edri.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/EU-resist-Big-Tech-bullying-open-letter-Jan-2025.pdf

The @EUCommission has summoned me to consult in an emergency nighttime meeting to devise an urgent plan to contrast the alarming escalation of foreign centralized social networks by fostering the development of the #Fediverse in the #EU.

EDIT: this post was completely invented! I am so happy that I used the right EU slang words to make this believable, making people privately text me asking if it was true. I wish that the EU actually saw this as an urgent problem to tackle, almost as much as I wish they would call me, of all people, to consult about this. What is totally true and awesome is the day I spent in the #EuropeanParliament, welcomed by a #MEP: https://pan.rent/@tommi/113912683843904482
