According to UN key principles, every citizen has the right, without any discrimination and without unreasonable restrictions, to take part in the conduct of public affairs, to vote and to be elected to government.

Around the world, some 70 countries held elections in 2024 with votes that directly affected almost half of the planet's population.

The EU is the world’s second largest economy, but that collective wealth doesn’t mean everyone has equal rights and opportunities.

Today the decline of democratic and electoral systems often goes unnoticed. For instance, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) highlighted issues in Hungary and Poland. They described elections as "free but not fair," citing problems like the close ties between state resources and the ruling party, which make it hard for opponents to compete fairly. They also pointed out how the ruling party's control over public media enhances their advantage. These issues exist in the European Union but receive minimal political attention.

International observation missions for elections in EU member states are mainly conducted by the OSCE. However, these missions have limited reach and often lack enough staff to monitor many polling stations on election day. This limitation arises from a shortage of resources for the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights, which is the OSCE’s primary election observation group. Additionally, these missions are restricted by the belief that election-day issues in the EU are infrequent and not coordinated enough to significantly affect election outcomes.

Thus, the European Court of Justice ruled in November that the Czech Republic and Poland are violating the EU law by prohibiting EU nationals from joining their political parties. The European Commission filed complaints against both countries, claiming they limit the ability of foreigners to stand for local and European elections under the same conditions as Czech and Polish citizens.

Hungary and Poland's people may see the issue as existential and are unwilling to be destroyed in the name of a law that they had limited influence creating. These modern legalistic Pharasee's need to be stood up to. Any law that seeks to commit genocide and displace a people or ethnic group from their territory is invalid in my view

The EU is a totalitarian state.
They're worse than anywhere for misinfo and disnfo.
Look at what they do in Georgia and Romania.

>>Thierry #Breton vs Elon Musk:
"Let's keep calm and enforce our laws in Europe when there is a risk that they will be bypassed. We did that in #Romania and, if necessary, we will have to do it in #Germany as well"<<

Slovakia PM Robert Fico was offered a EU 500 million bribe to support Ukraines membership, refused and was shot.

Lying about Romania and Tik Tok, turns out it was the government themselves doing it.

Orban, they don't like him ruling his own country for Hungarians, think he should follow EU dictates or his people face blackmail and collective punishment.

- And look what their chosen ones have done to their own countries.
It's no wonder Germans want to be rid of the traffic light coalition.
They are being thrown out by their people but the elite EU overlords wish to keep the clownshow going.

They act like they rule by divine right.
But it's all slowly coming apart, thanks to the Zelensky curse.
Most of those present at the beginning are now gone
- Except Macron and Meloni.

When we get our own country right it might be OK to pontificate on the EU.
