Oh this is going to be good. Let me grab some popcorns and open my trusty "Check downvotes" panel...
Deeply saddened they didn't use grappa for Italy, I think it would have been more appropriate, but I guess limoncello is better known abroad.
Also, I'll never stop thanking Hungary for the great gift that is Unicum!
Yurop@lemm.ee has been created! Feel free to join for laid back discussions and content among Europeans
Lithuanians are at it again, raising money to outfit Ukrainian soldiers with personal anti-drone systems, laser sights and night vision monoculars, all made by Lithuanian manufacturers
That is a fair point. I tried looking up some charts to check that flow over the years but as it turns out I'm not familiar enough with the bureaucratic jungle of the US Highway Administration, so I couldn't find anything. The wording of the article does make it seem like a trend over the years, rather than an isolated drop in 2020, but without any further data I can only speculate about its magnitude.
Nemmeno fonti "autorevoli" come il Mirror, "Il mattino" mette dietro paywall traduzioni prese da REDDIT
LMAO abbastanza ridicolo.
Articolo a parte, il solo titolo già fa ridere:
Ho scoperto di non essere il papà di mia figlia (9 anni). Non voglio più vederla e non mi interessa se dovrà vivere per strada
"Giornalismo" di questo genere potrebbe tranquillamente essere roba generata - no, rigurgitata - da IA, mi viene quasi da sperare che nessun giornalista abbia sprecato tempo traducendo una roba del genere.
Domanda. Perché hai censurato l'url?
Ok hear an European federalist's (me) take on this:
Yes, ID and ECR are set to gain a pretty substantial amount of seats, especially compared to the results of the previous election, as the Guardian's infographic clearly highlights:
However, their conclusion:
As a result, the far-right ID group is projected to gain up to 40 more seats, for a total of 98, potentially making it the third political force and opening up the possibility of a “populist right” coalition (EPP, ECR, and ID) with 49% of MEPs in the new parliament
seems a bit of a stretch. While ID is firmly eurosceptic and ECR is... undecisive, EPP is firmly pro Europe. EPP has been the largest party in the European Parliament for over 20 years, and they are the ones who elected names like von der Leyen and Metsola. I wouldn't call either "Anti-European".
As the POLITICO "Poll of Polls" clearly highlights, the top groups aren't set to change all that much. The most notable changes are Renew losing quite a lot of seats and ID replacing it as the 3rd political force, but EPP and S&D mantain a significant lead.
If ECR and ID ever came to building a "populist right coalition", I doubt EPP would be on their side. I think it's way more likely that they'd side with other forces like S&D or RE and try to stop them.
In conclusion: yeah it sucks that Renew has lost so many seats, and it also sucks that far right voters seem to prefer the way more extreme ID to the comparatively more sane ECR, but things aren't nearly as tragic as the media is portraying them to be.
If it did exist (and it doesn't), it would be an excessive cause of government spending. Money that could otherwise be used to pay for other services like health or pension spending, or subsidize (read as: "cut taxes on") necessary stuff like food or petrol.
I think their argument per se does make sense, it's just the initial assumption that is flawed.
Hi, thanks for the lenghty explanation. Sorry, I should have been clearer in my reply, I am aware of what the confederacy was, historically. My concern was more about what they meant when saying that the GOP might have wanted to return to that. I do know a thing or two about American politics, but I just don't recall ever hearing about them having similar stances.
Make no mistake, I am not defending the Republicans here. From my point of view they are definitely the worst of the two parties and some of their policies are downright evil (including but not limited to: privatizations, opposing welfare, opposing national healthcare, opposing public transport...).
My entire point in this was just saying: I don't think they are as bad, evil, dangerous or even criminal as the neo nazi parties currently running in Germany, in particular the topic of discussion, NPD.
I remember once seeing a thread on Reddit, either on r/YUROP or r/europe can't really recall which of the two, where they banned English for the comment section of that thread and invited all Romance speakers to speak in their native language. It was surprising how anyone could pretty much understand and hold conversation with everyone else. Granted, it's likely that written makes it a bit easier, compared to spoken, but it was very fun!
I suppose we could also hold something similar for Germanic or Slavics, if a sufficient number of those speaker were down to try this experiment
