Fucking hell. When does it stop? It’s gotten shot down multiple times, so why do they keep trying? Do they see more of a chance now that we’re getting more conservative views in the EP?
It’s good to see my country opposes it, but man.
It never stops. They keep trying and trying and trying until they get what they want. The only time things like this stop is if whatever wouldn’t otherwise stop would inconvenience or take power from people in high places.
See: Brexit, where an advisory referendum was upheld, but we won’t ever get another one to reverse it, even though that’s a perfectly reasonable thing to want. Too many powerful people would stand to lose out.
It’s only assumed the Netherlands opposes it because of the now fallen governments stance on it before. We all know that their campaign promises and ‘regeerakkoord’ are completly meaningless. So I’m still trying to call and emailing the dutch MEP’s
I was relieved when I learned NL is opposing, but to be fair I was also a bit surprised. Don’t think there is a good reason to be in favour of chat control, but kind of expect it from VVD, PVV and BBB anyway. They might even already want to expand it beyond child abuse to also include money launderers, immigrants and climate change protesters.

Yeah, I’m not confident either. There are definitely parties in our government that don’t actually oppose this (like the VVD)
