First Domino

Otto von Habsburg, the last crown-prince of Austria-Hungary was a staunch EuroFederalist: “The current European states are too small to play a leading role; but united, they can become a real global power, accepted and respected by all.”

A ranking of the most Pro-European of the continental groups and parties. Renew is the largest Pro-European force in the continent, it is one of the major EU parliament groups and has 77 seats. Volt is the European Federalist party, with 5 seats in the EU Parliament and national and local representation. Ave Europa is a Right-Wing political startup that seeks to unite the European civilisation under a federal structure, they have recently had their first general assembly. Astra Europa is a federalist political startup aimed at the centre, which promotes a view of an ambitious Europe. At A tier, they are still very Pro-European but less ambitious about the unification of the continent. B tier is mixed, sometimes constructive, sometimes a blocking force. C tier and below actively undermine the European project at specific areas. This is our view, strictly at how Pro-European unification these organisations are. This does not take into account specific areas such as Technology, Migration, etc, just their view on unification. We criticise and support politics based on a case by case basis, and we do not support a specific group or party, we are independent.

The EU launched a video showcasing how life would be without it. Luckily, the EU exists and it protects us from extortion, allows Europeans to easily travel, ensures privacy, consumer rights, the single market, and scale. A divided Europe would be weak, United, a Superpower.

Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles. Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released. This is real pressure against planned obsolescence. It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up. About time.

🚨 BREAKING ​Marco Rubio: ​"If Europe does not allow us to use the bases we established and funded for their defense when needed, we should close those bases and withdraw our troops from Europe."
