EU-geek & damn Lefty. Son of a refugee, and currently a somewhat poorly integrated migrant (aka expat).
Head of Press for Denmark's coolest MEP (Aka Per Clausen).
Mainly 🇩🇰🇨🇱 origins.
Retweets are retweets, views are my own. Snarkiness may occur.
Having @buerokratiemonster.bsky.social in the European Parliament TV studio with @left.eu MEPs ... makes this not your average plenary day :-)

It is Tuesday, it is strike time - and right now, protesters are blocking Brussels' Avenue de la Couronne.

The EP is gathered Strasbourg this week - so what could be better than joining the @left.eu press briefing? 💪

... and here, you can pick up good arguments for showing a lack of confidence in the leadership of the European Commission🇪🇺?

Don't forget to add a cross-group protest action to the warm-up routine.

Progressive MEPs protesting Gaza-inaction outside the Plenary chamber, right before the big SOTEU speech of von der Leyen.

The chairs of four of the European Parliament's political groups, who went to stand up to Orbán at Budapest Pride 🌈🇭🇺

... it is noticeable which four groups were not there at this level. Or at all.

To think this was less than a week ago...

Somehow he was declared "fit for office" less than a month ago 🤯

Also... the US has an actual bowtie export to Europe?

Or, South Carolingian handkerchiefs?

Here ,the head of the
@eppgroup.bsky.social is calling the @reneweurope.bsky.social -led government of Slovenia, which also has a PES party in it, for "Far Left".

That is some Trump/Orban-level rhetoric...

Det er tirsdag, solen skinner - og vi kan endeligt afsløre denne nyhed:

Enhedslisten's @PerClausen.bsky.social skal i dag tiltræde som formand for EU-Parlamentets Økonomiudvalg (ECON), og i den anledning har vi naturligvis et nyt pressebillede klart!

Very interesting discussions today with @corporateeurope.bsky.social about lobbying in Brussels and the EU.
March 27, 2025 at 1:04 PM
Seeing this as you walk around in the EP🇪🇺, does give a bit of QatarGate🇶🇦💰 flashbacks - with the developing HuaweiGate 🇨🇳📱💰 already seeming like it may involve more people.

It begs the question: how many more scandals are needed, until we get real lobbying reforms?

The Dutch government being split on the question of the ReArm Europe-plan is remarkle - and it is interesting to see the EPP and PfE-aligned parties opposing it, and the Renew-one in favour.

Dear diary📖.

Today at work, I had the privilege to quietly hold up a sign outside a #FarRight "remigration" event in the EP.

The sign said 'No pasarán'.

This made the people, some of whom that message⛔️ was originally intended for, very, very angry.

But they shall not pass.

Never again is now.

Nice to hear the Nordic party leaders speaking at @left.eu groupmeeting.

The message is clear: there are issues we need to tackle - but we also have the tools to do so!

Just trying to be prepared for current events with these two excellent booms by
@footymac.bsky.social and @daviddejong.bsky.social

Sadly, they both seem to have relevance outside of the countries they were about.

Well as TAZ just left in,in one of their articles about it "ScheißNaziDrecksKack Pack"

I'm not quite sure @taz.de meant to keep this part in their story🤔

Although writing "Sheiß NaziDrecksKack Pack plus FDP" in a story might be sure fire way to have it mentioned in the news tomorrow ;-)

Tuesday in Strasbourg means time for the best press briefing of the week: that of @left.eu 💪
January 21, 2025 at 10:40 AM
- Opinion piece finished, approved and dispatched ✅️

- Draft speeches written ✅️

- mail stopped working 😡

So, time for some educational reading on my way to yet another Strasbourg Plenary session:

When @thelefteu.bsky.social Group meeting discuss Trump🇺🇸 and his threats against #Greenland🇬🇱 and Denmark🇩🇰 - it happens with a speaker closer to the problem than most: one of the two members of the Danish Parliament from Greenland - Aaja Chemnitz.

Meanwhile, on another platfrom, the Man-who-wants-to-be-a-Bond-villain keeps up the outrageous line.

It is almost as if he wants European governments to take action against him.

Has Musk gone on a complete Far Right bender?

Besides it being a bit funny to see how fast he turns on his Right wing friends - it is scary how much he suddenly wants to meddle in Western politics and parties.

The Vond-villain vibes are growing exponentially - has anyone seen 007?
