President Karol Nawrocki vetoed the law for the national implementation of the Digital Services Act (DSA). With this, the right-wing conservative head of state demonstratively sides with US President Donald Trump and his declared rejection of European platform regulation.
Sad, really sad
EU needs to change system. Those veto powers tear down the eu
Poland has used them so often for stupid reasons I kind of want other states to just create a cooler EU without them. They benefit from this alliance almost like no other country but do it disservice again and again.
Unfortunately I agree as a Pole.
The influence of Russian propaganda is so huge here, and education level is not too high here, so people believe in propaganda, and they vote for president who take care of their fears…
You know that the difference between this president and opponent was really low? And they do such stupid things because people who listened to propaganda expect from him…
There needs to be veto power, but it should be ~20-25% of the EP, not a single country.
The EU already has qualified majority on some issues. Also this has nothing to do with veto, but postponing implementation of a regulation that already is agreed upon.
I’ll add to agree that I’d love to see more things to require qualified majority instead of unanimity.
