Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Germany's Minister of Justice today: "Suspicionless #ChatControl must be taboo in a state governed by the rule of law." Private communication cannot be placed under general suspicion. "Germany will not agree to such proposals at the EU level."

🏡 On this first ever #WorldVacantHomesDay, we highlight one of the biggest contradictions of our time: too many homes without people, too many people without homes.

🇪🇺 EU countries must prioritise renovating & reallocating vacant houses for social housing.

There is no place like home.
Yet too many of them are vacant.

It’s not only a housing crisis, it’s also a vacant homes crisis.” The graphic shows bar charts comparing the national percentage of vacant homes (yellow bars) and the percentage of vacant homes in capital cities (dark green bars) across several European countries. The countries shown are the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Latvia, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain. A line marks 50% on the y-axis.

Together with the @socialistsanddemocrats.eu & @left.eu, we call on Ursula von der Leyen, Antonio Costa & Kaja Kallas to take immediate action on Israel´s illegal and forceful interception of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla.

We will demand a debate on this violation of international law in #EPlenary.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:
 Denmark has scheduled a vote on Chat Control the 14th of October. Despite not wanting to break end-to-end encryption, 🇩🇪 Germany remains both UNDECIDED and critical to defeating the proposal.
 If you are German, contact your Bundestag members today via fightchatcontrol.de !

I hate that I am on the same side as the French far right but at least I am glad they have a bit of common sense left

We need a European constitution that states black on white the right of privacy. It's unacceptable that a group of anonymous lobbysts are trying to spy our chats
