„The Council then sent the file back to Parliament at the beginning of the vacation season, where it was difficult to secure the necessary majority to dismiss it again“ What are we paying these people for? It should be obvious that it is Part of your duties being a member of parliament to monitor and act on stuff while being on vacation.

So the EU made everyone put endless cookie acceptance popups up in the name of “privacy” then turns around and flagrantly violates it in the name of “protecting children”. The only thing that isn’t done in the name of “protecting children” is gun regulation.

tl;dr, they waited for the opposition to go on holiday and then pushed through a special resolution that required them to vote no in order to not pass. It’s shady as fuck.

I checked the danish votes here and it seems like only social demokratiet (social democrats) voted against this bill. All other stronger left leaning parties voted for it as well as all the centrist and right leaning parties. Truly disappointing.
