@did:plc:zjtyybjelg2zihdpoifkffetIt was a pleasure to be able to intervene in Professor Grandjean’s Belgian political history class at ULg and to decode, with the students, the major issues of the moment. A way of tying theory to current events, whether it is the war in Ukraine or commercial tensions, for example.

@thomas_waitz@mastodon.socialEuropean Day: 30 Years of Austria's EU Membership Those who want to see into the future must always keep the past in view.

@thomas_waitz@mastodon.socialNew push for new genetic engineering The discussion about new genetic engineering in the European Union moves into the next round. After the Commission and the majority of Members of the European Parliament, the EU member states in the Council of the European Union now also demand deregulation of new genetic engineering.

@thomas_waitz@mastodon.socialEverything is different in the new GAP. The negotiations for the new GAP are just around the corner, but this time under entirely new circumstances. The European Commission under Ursula von der Leyen wants to change the EU’s financial conduct and could possibly do so with the two biggest EU funding pools, namely the Common Agricultural Policy. #ClimateProtection #Agriculture #AnimalProtection #Nutrition #EUAgriculturalPolicy #GAP #Agriculture #AnimalProtection

@luciayarPAHALASHISM AND VENGEANCE 🧵1/3 Fico’s one‑color government was scamming with EU funds – their friends were building monuments while hospitals collapsed and roads fell apart. We can’t let the powerful buy luxury with our money any longer. Therefore, as Progressive Slovakia, we are appealing to European institutions 🇪🇺 🇪🇺 🇪🇺
