#European Parliament

[ardri-na-bpiteog]

Just a reminder to my European followers that the European Parliament elections are coming up and they are very important! The far-right parties are projected to win a lot of seats and many of the left/environmentalist parties are expected to do poorly.

This could have serious implications for major issues like climate action in the EU. It is very important that young people turn out to vote, EU elections typically have relatively low turnout but the composition of the EU Parliament does impact the lives of people in the European Union in a lot of ways.

In honour of the EU Parliamentary Elections, let me briefly interrupt the staple frev/classics posting and tell you about the terrible, beautiful insanity that is the Czech political scene.

Okay, so we have three brothers who are all in politics, except each of them is in a party that is diametrically opposed to the other two.

The most famous one of them is a notorious right-wing populist who made his fame by running on the 'I hate foreigners and immigrants' platform (even though he's half Japanese)

The other one would almost be a decent guy, except he is a member of a Christian party that continues to push for 'traditional values'

The youngest one is a gay architect who aligns himself with what is arguably the most progressive party on the current Czech political scene

I know it sounds like something straight out of a sitcom, but I swear that I'm not making this up

hemicycle // luxembourg kirchberg

architect: pierre bohler

completion: 1979

the hemicycle on the kirchberg plateau is an incredibly futuristic building that is somewhat hidden in the middle of the kirchberg forest. it looks like a film set for a dystopian film, so overgrown and lonely it stands on the road. fun fact: the european parliament, for which the building was originally built, only met four times in this building.

das hemicycle auf dem kirchbergplateau ist ein unglaublich schönes futuristisches Gebäude welches sich aber etwas versteckt mitten im wald des kirchberges befindet. es wirkt wie eine Kulisse für einen dystropischen film, so eingewachsen und einsam es an der straße steht. fun-fact ist das, das europäische parlament, für welches das gebäude ursprünglich gebaut wurde, nur viermal in diesem tagte.

🚨 Breaking: The International Democracy Union—an international coalition of right-wing parties, including @EPP, the largest party in the European 🇪🇺 Parliament—just adopted a resolution condemning ICC, and boycotting @UNRWA.

This official European government website explains how you can participate and vote in the Parliament Election on June 9th 2024. (In some countries as early as June 6th)

It asks you to select your country and then offers languages in which the explanation is available. It also contains an extensive FAQ for things you might want to know about the election, about voting per mail, about registering to vote, etc. etc.

I just can’t get over the fact that the openly right-wing and fascist party AfD has the second best results in this EU election. Do we really want history to repeat itself? Have we not learned what happens when you let fascists take over Germany? And so many other right-wing parties gained votes all over Europe. Whether it’s Rassemble Nationale in France, Fratelli d’Italia in Italy (well let’s not forget they also have a fascist history), FPÖ in Austria or PiS in Poland.

I’m feeling so utterly hopeless and angry right now. I am glad that I did vote, even though my party didn’t get a seat, but I am still shocked at the results of this EU election.
