Slovakia and The Netherlands are the new wild cards. We’ll 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? 🤌🤌🤌 Italy is part of the "family" too, with the Nederlands, Slovakia, Hungary.. and the UK of course!

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..
