There are still quite some hurdles. The European Comission is set to propose to make it mandatory, but the proposal will only come in December (and has been already postponed a couple of times due to the resistance). Then the European Parliament needs to pass it.
The fight is not over, and resisting legislation like this in the past has provided results. I am hopeful.
- blibble 5y agothe commission wouldn't have proposed it if they didn't think they would be able to push through the vast majority of it and if they don't get it through this parliament they'll wait until the next one, and so on and once it's passed: the parliament has no ability to alter or undo it
- AnssiH 5y agoBut the commission has not actually proposed it, has it?
- laurent92 5y agoThe People shouldn’t have to oppose what their leaders want. Not in a democracy. The people should vote.
- thomasahle 5y agoThe leaders listen to what the people say too. If the only people to speak up are the "we must do everything we can to protect the children" people, and the "we must give the police any tools they ask for", it's easy for the leaders to forget about the rest.
- laurent92 5y agoOr the leaders listen to who pays them. The vocabulary of listening or voting has faded away for the vocabulary of “explaining” or “spreading awareness”, in both of which people are told what they should think. But they also listen, to ensure their explanations are “understood”.
