'Investigative format "ARD Monitor" has done a research on the omnibus vote in the European Parliament and the origins of majority of the centre-right EPP with the far-right groups last November:' #UE #EU

Second, that the EPP communicated with the ECR, which then served as a bridge towards the more extreme 'Patriots for Europe' and AfD-led 'Europe of Sovereign Nations'. This keeps the EPP from talking directly to the extremist, but also increases the role of the ECR, in particular Meloni.

We know that the EPP now has several times voted with the far-right in the EPP. This investigative research shows additionally First, that the EPP negotiator was planning to go for the option with the far-right even before the negotiations with the von der Leyen platform failed (EPP, S&D, Renew)

Ils n'ont que le mot "souveraineté" à la bouche. Et ils le répètent en boucle sur X, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn...

Petit conseil à nos dirigeants nationaux et particulièrement à la Commission #UE : intégrez la cause du revirement du soutien à Frederiksen 🇩🇰 ou continuez à vous enfoncer 😑 #CrossroadsEU

Et ne parlons même pas de la société civile/ONG (16%) C'est chiffré, la Commission #UE préfère les 🇺🇲 et travaille pour leurs intérêts #CrossroadsEU en état de détresse 🚨

Révolution du "sens commun" made in 🇺🇲 au Parlement #UE ✝️ Defend the values of God, country & family (non croyants, laïcité 🗑?) Priorité n°1 : X/Réseaux sociaux sans régulation (contraire à la volonté des européen.ne.s 👌) FreeSpeech = Droit naturel = Propager haine & mensonge 🤩 #CrossroadsEU #DSA

Où s’arrêteront-ils ? Hier, ce sont les associations écologistes qui étaient ciblées. Aujourd’hui, l’humanitaire. Demain, ce seront les droits des femmes, des minorités, des lanceurs d’alerte. (5/13)

À Bruxelles comme à Strasbourg, il ne s’agit de rien d’autre que d’une tentative méthodique de faire taire les ONG et, à travers elles, toute voix critique, indépendante et engagée pour l’intérêt général en Europe. (3/13)

C’était une question de temps. Vous le savez, 13 députés européens ont scellé une alliance de droite et d’extrême droite pour mener une chasse aux sorcières contre les associations de protection de l’environnement. (1/13)

I hope @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu will also take the time to sit down with union leaders, and not only business reps. We share the urgency, but if it's only business interests that the @ec.europa.eu listens to, we might as well surrender to Trump right away. We know where that road leads to.

Au risque de me répéter, ce que fait la Commission européenne avec la réglementation automobile est profondément délétère. À force de reculer, de diminuer, de rouvrir sans cesse des arbitrages pourtant actés, elle envoie un signal catastrophique à l’industrie. 1/8

Bravo à vous. Aujourd'hui TikTok, demain YouTube and Co ? Toutefois difficile de se réjouir avec tous les attaques venant de l'extérieur autant que de l'intérieur ( #DigitalOmnibus) #DigitalSovereignty

We urgently need across Europe and the UK a firm set of regulatory standards how to deal with think tanks, ensuring transparency as to where funding and donations to political parties comes from. If we are serious about tackling undue interference in democracy, following the money is key!!!

If there's one thing I've learned about social media, it's that Boomers need it taken off them. Also, why are countries forcing age verification and ID checks when they could just... y'know... take legal action against the CSAM machine and Musk, and ban certain sites?

🚪Is Better Regulation becoming a back door to less democracy in Europe? 50+ academics warn that the EU Commission’s new approach risks reducing civil society input, sidelining evidence, while institutionalising deregulation in the name of political convenience. 👉 thegoodlobby.eu/academics-wa...

While Europeans call for stricter enforcement of digital laws, French police investigate X, and Spain proposes new social media rules, the US House Republicans continue their "censorship" investigation into the DSA, claiming the EU interfered in multiple elections and censors content in the US.

Beyond Big Tech’s lobbying firepower, the Digital Fairness Act is facing several other obstacles: - the EU’s deregulation agenda - pressure from the Trump administration - the growing power of the far right - and the preference of centre-right politicians to limit rules for minors

The Consumer Choice Center – a lobby group funded by Google and Meta – has launched a project called ‘EU Tech Loop’, which publishes articles on the Euronews website that closely echo Big Tech talking points This raises questions about untransparent Big Tech influencing via EU media spaces

Our new report shows Meta #lobbyists presented misleading claims to EU officials about the safety of Instagram for young women These claims are contradicted by several recent independent studies as well as analyses of Meta’s own internal documents corporateeurope.org/en/2026/02/a...

Privileged access ⚠️ Commission officials met lobbyists more than 100 times on the Digital Fairness Act 83% of the lobby meetings were with industry representatives 🤯 Less than 14% of these meetings were with NGOs and trade unions 🤔 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/02/a...

Check out ‘Addicted to the algorithm: how Big Tech lobbies to keep us hooked on social media’ Big Tech #lobbyists: - enjoyed privileged access to EU decision-makers - made false claims about online safety - argued new rules harm EU 'simplification' agenda corporateeurope.org/en/2026/02/a...

The EU Commission is preparing a Digital Fairness Act with measures against addictive design of social media 👏 Our new investigation reveals intense #lobbying by Big Tech to block such measures 🚨 Will EU decision-makers stand up against Big Tech lobbying? #DFA corporateeurope.org/en/2026/02/a...

The EU gets home, puts the signed MoU near a heat source and realises that Trump has written “I GET GREENLAND” at the bottom in lemon juice.

Make sure this doesn’t go ahead. We are fine without visa free travel to the US if that’s the price bsky.app/profile/prof...

Following serious allegations of political links between Jeffrey Epstein and former European Commissioner Peter Mandelson, we're calling on the European Commission and the European Anti-Fraud Office to launch an immediate investigation into potential misconduct. Full statement:

📨 Dear EU Commission, When the game isn’t going in our favour, it’s tempting to change the rules – but doing so risks losing the trust of the other players. Adapting Better Regulation to suit a big industry agenda is no different. 🎲 Today 50+ CSOs call for fair play: eeb.org/en/library/j...

Orbàn-style witch hunt of NGOs. But @eppgroup.bsky.social @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu will not touch the Greek government.

🧵+📄 SI la Commission #UE applique le #DSA à X, la méthode de calcule du plafond des futures amendes est un élément clef Car ce n'est pas juste le C.A de X Internet Unlimited Company et X Holdings Corp. Mais “Musk Group” : X Holdings Corp., Space X, The Boring Company, Neuralink Cooperation et X.AI

Quand la présidente du parlement 🇪🇺 interdira-t’elle l’accès définitivement à tous les lobbyistes industriels, énergétiques, financiers, agricoles,… qui, certes, n’envoient de petits avions en papiers inoffensifs, mais ont un pouvoir toujours plus important et nuisible sur les décisions européennes ?

We are not "together" or "unbeatable" until we actually have a common EU military. We are not "together" or "unbeatable" when a single country can block all collective action. This loose federation no longer suffices.

Additionally, a very sensible move for the prosecutor to announce leaving X at the same time. It does not really make sense for enforcement authorities to keep using (and sometimes paying) platforms they're investigating for illegal behaviour.

French prosecutor wants to hear Elon Musk, after X’s premises in France were searched this morning. And a lingering question: Could EU Member States be more efficient than the European Commission on cracking down abuses from platforms?

It's an understandable and reasonable position. I'm trying to convince myself to go with it (desperate time, desperate me). I think they are building as they go along, and since it's the only party that clearly proposes federalism... unless there is another ? (I'm open to other options).

Former Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has called for the federalisation of Europe. “Power requires Europe to move from confederation to federation. Where Europe has federated—on trade, competition, the single market, and monetary policy—we are respected as a power and negotiate as one. 1/2

Starting to wonder about EU rules on funding transparency....

Au Portugal, face au risque que l'extrême droite accède à la présidence, les figures de la droite conservatrice font le choix de soutenir le candidat... de centre-gauche. Certains ont compris que plus l'extrême droite monte, plus la droite risque l'éradication. Quand d'autres s'aveuglent...
