Made the most of my sprint to Brussels to talk EU citizenship and the difficulties of mobile EU citizens to participate in elections: listened to @reiniervanlanschot.volteuropa.org ran into Mikuláš and Mattias from the Pirates and loaded up on chocolate 🍫 of course. Thanks for the invite, ECIT !

Eventually I will be able to pronounce "sčasoma", but we held our 1st press conference today in front of the Parliament to announce we're registering @voltslovenija.org to run in next year's elections.

Happy I made the trip to #Amsterdam to catch up with members of @voltnederland.org and I'm glad to see the Netherlands seemingly back on a pro-EU track. I did hope for a better result 😑 Our voice is very much needed if we want to go beyond talking about a stronger Europe. Next time.

🚍 Več javnega prevoza = boljše življenje za vse.
Medtem ko cene avtobusnih vozovnic v Ljubljani rastejo, mesto investira v nove cestne projekte, ki rušijo parke in ogrožajo varnost otrok.
Resnica je, da smo vsi, tudi motoristi, na boljšem, če imamo več javnega prevoza:

Another weekend, another GA: I represented @voltslovenija.org 🇸🇮 on the @voltitalia.it 🇮🇹 GA in Mestre on Saturady. A great opportunity to connect, build links and I was happy to see many familiar and new faces. Need to work on my Italian. After Slovenian 😌
Good luck for the regional elections 🍀

We're talking #ChatControl - if the EU Council votes for it, we should be consequent and also abolish paper envelopes, too, because hey, mass surveillance ✉️
»Zakaj potem ne ukinemo tudi papirnatih ovojnic? Če privzamemo, da smo vsi krivi, je potrebno prebirati tudi pisma, še preden jih pošljemo« je dejal Tilen Drager iz @voltslovenija.org - #chatcontrol #slovenija

It's a fine line to walk for leaders in Meloni's "Europe of Nations": Arranging oneself with Putin while enamoured with Trump. Supporting the EU while plotting to dismantle it.
