I thought it was like the UN, where the US, UK, France, Russia and China had veto powers and could essentially single-handedly block any move repeatedly regardless of what any other country (asides from these) vied for.
It seems the kind of majorities the EU requires for legislation to pass makes it so that one naturally loses any real hope for change for the EU, since someone or the other will realistically always be blocking legislation.
Germany has a bad history with fascism, and is no different today, and it being more populous doesn’t help.
There is surprisingly much happening in the EU, because everyone is trading favours. You agree with this, we agree with that. Everyone knows that legislation would come to a complete halt otherwise, and all have something to gain from coming through and approving stuff, that’s why it mostly works out
It seems to be mostly focused on detaching themselves from the us and dealing w other enemies like Russia / china , not so much ending funding for genocide (CMIIW)
Appreciate the explanation
