Happy I made the trip to #Amsterdam to catch up with members of @voltnederland.org and I'm glad to see the Netherlands seemingly back on a pro-EU track. I did hope for a better result 😑 Our voice is very much needed if we want to go beyond talking about a stronger Europe. Next time.

🚍 Več javnega prevoza = boljše življenje za vse.
Medtem ko cene avtobusnih vozovnic v Ljubljani rastejo, mesto investira v nove cestne projekte, ki rušijo parke in ogrožajo varnost otrok.
Resnica je, da smo vsi, tudi motoristi, na boljšem, če imamo več javnega prevoza:

Another weekend, another GA: I represented @voltslovenija.org 🇸🇮 on the @voltitalia.it 🇮🇹 GA in Mestre on Saturady. A great opportunity to connect, build links and I was happy to see many familiar and new faces. Need to work on my Italian. After Slovenian 😌
Good luck for the regional elections 🍀

We're talking #ChatControl - if the EU Council votes for it, we should be consequent and also abolish paper envelopes, too, because hey, mass surveillance ✉️
»Zakaj potem ne ukinemo tudi papirnatih ovojnic? Če privzamemo, da smo vsi krivi, je potrebno prebirati tudi pisma, še preden jih pošljemo« je dejal Tilen Drager iz @voltslovenija.org - #chatcontrol #slovenija

Sporni predlog EU Chat Control, ki uvaja množični nadzor, deli Evropo. Kritiki svarijo pred koncem zasebnosti, usoda zakonodaje pa je še negotova.

If you are a Europe aficionado or among the record high population that believes more Europe is kinda warranted, you must also start to believe we are in the equivalent of a European Groundhog day.

4 years ago, we planned with @leedseurope.bsky.social to join to the #BraderiedeLille to show citizens on both sides of the channel that the UK is welcome in the EU
I'm superhappy, you made the trip again. You contribute to being back in hearts already. Let's keep going until you're officially back

It's a fine line to walk for leaders in Meloni's "Europe of Nations": Arranging oneself with Putin while enamoured with Trump. Supporting the EU while plotting to dismantle it.
