    About France …

    According to fightchatcontrol.eu a majority of our MEPs have expressed against the law : from far right to far left. ALL of the others are left as “unknown”.

    I think it’s fair to assume that France is against this law but that our current political mess prevents an official or coordinated response.

    I’d advise to at least switch France to “undecided” and add a bit of context 🤷
