Have we ever been that close to taking them? I'm assuming he was warned and informed that next time it will happen.
No, but until now, Poland and Hungary protected each other. Things might change now.
Slovakia and The Netherlands are the new wild cards. Weโll see how things shake out.
Slovakia, I don't know, but the Netherlands not really. The one party that might want to veto it, while the biggest in parliament, only ("only") got 20% of the votes. If they get to govern (which is not set in stone yet), they'll have to do so in a coalition with other parties who would not let that happen.
And Italy, why are we left out? ๐ค๐ค๐ค Italy is part of the "family" too, with the Nederlands, Slovakia, Hungary.. and the UK of course!
The UK isn't in any EU discussions any more...
My impression of Meloni is that she values the EU?
Edit: not melon lol
She does, she isn't doing anything like that.
Yeah, I get that people outside Italy were worried when she was elected (I was too) but I've not seen any real controversial EU policy from her government. That's from outside though.
She immediately reassured european partners, also stood with Ukraine since day one: not obviois on that side of the parliament. So yeah, could have been worse..
