Eurowatch
The bad stuff can be anywhere.
Greedy fuckers cannot self-regulate.
Prove me wrong.

Re: Eurowatch
Everything tends to head for the plughole.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/ ... port-warnsThe rule of law is declining across the EU as governments continue to weaken legal and democratic checks and balances, a leading civil liberties network has said, highlighting in particular a sharp rise in restrictions on the right to protest.
Berlin-based Liberties said in its annual report, compiled with 37 rights groups in 19 countries, that in older democracies with mainstream parties in government, such as France, Germany and Belgium, challenges to the rule of law remained sporadic.
However, in similarly long-established – so resilient – democracies where far-right parties are in power, or influencing power, such as Italy and Sweden, Liberties said deterioration of the rule of law, while gradual, risked becoming systemic.
In more recently re-established EU democracies, such as Slovakia, Slovenia and Poland, it said the rule of law “can swing rapidly - either towards recovery or decline”.
Balázs Dénes, the executive director of the Civil Liberties Union for Europe, as Liberties is formally known, said its 600-page report – used by the European Commission in its rule-of-law monitoring – showed the EU needed to act faster against clear rule-of-law backsliding.
“The bottom line is that the commission, the entire EU, are sitting on a very powerful toolbox but they are reluctant to use it quickly and assertively,” Dénes said. “We are alarmed by the lack of serious analysis of what is actually going on in some places.”

France steps back from the brink. It's not unprecedented, I remember the "clothespeg" election, when leftists had to put with the bad smell of Jacques Chirac, as they chose to vote against the despotic daddy Jean Marie le Pen. But now they have this unstable parliament to deal with. Maybe it will cause disillusionment with the system, although I think disillusionment with, or better yet intolerance to fascism would be a better outcome.

Re: Eurowatch
It's funny how the right accuses the left of being extremists and terrorists etc, but when they lose an election
