In recent years, nationalist movements have gained ground in the EU, a phenomenon some have dubbed the "Trump Effect." Watch our video to understand the connection: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZIOBlKiQqtXVoKw.html

Please refrain from fueling this narrative. The media has done it's lion share of often blindly echoing the far right when it focuses so much on them. They're not a defining feature of our society, yet they're always made out to be. At least half of their power comes from the almost constant fear-mongerig about their apparently always imminent rise to absolute power. Yes, they're there, yes, it's worrying. But most EU countries are still liberal democracies with functioning governments. And the people living here have other things to worry about but a right wing power grab

It's somewhat similar to the old US Senate i think... it used to be that Senators were appointed by state legislatures to represent the interests of the states as a whole, as opposed to the direct interests of the people found in the house of representatives

@freekingfreaking246

Жыл бұрын

that's incorrect. The legistive branch has two chambers, similar to how most countries do. One of them represents the interest of the european people, like the deputy chamber in most countries. And the other represents the interest of the States, like the Senate in most countries. Now pay attention to the word I used. State. Not goverment. So no, the Council of the EU is not there to represent any goverment whatsoever, it is there to represent the interest of their member states, in other words, the interest of each specific country that is member of the EU. This system exists in this fashion bc sometimes you can have a single member state dominate the deputy chamber, bc it is the most populous state. Think of idk France and Germany compared to smaller countries like Belgium or Luxembourg. Imagine the EU congress was trying to pass a law that would benefit the bigger countries. Bc they have a bigger population, it's likely most of the deputies in the deputy chamber will be from those major countries, so this law that benefits them might pass on the deputy chamber, in this case, the EU parliament. But every law has to pass both chambers, so both the deputy chamber (EU parliament) and the Senate (Council of the EU). So when the law then goes to the Council/Senate, the law might get rejected, because there each country has the exact same amount of senators/council members, so the smaller countries might be able to get together vote against this bill that tries to benefit only the bigger countries. Likewise, there could be a bill that tries to benefit only the smaller countries. In that scenario, it would be the EU parliament that would keep them from doing so, bc the parliament has elected officials in proportions similar to the amount of citizens there are in the EU. So if MOST citizens are from major countries, then most parliament members are from major countries and therefore such bill that benefits small countries will not pass. This is how the system works in most double-chamber countries and it's sad that citizens are ignorant about how their own goverment works.

The video kinda made it look like voting for the European Parlament is answering a Yes/No question on whether we want the EU to happen. By framing the narrative this way right wing populism is given a 50% hold on the answers. You're either for them or for all the other parties. However, this doesn't reflect my voting process at all. If you're for the EU, which the vast majority of the Europeans are, then you're actually voting on very different issues and for much more varied reasons. It's a shame that media organizations always seem to focus so much on the stay/leave narrative when it's not anywhere close to most people's minds.

Heya Sidremus! The director here. I entirely agree that the question about the EU has been simplified to a nationalist vs multilateralist one. The various colours within the EP have been pointed out in its explanation, but we had to simplify the main narrative to fit the elections this past May where this was very much one of the main concerns (it still seems to be). Since we already had to put a lot of information in a very short amount of time we chose to do it this way. We'll be making more films around the subject though and since the foundation has been set we will be able to go deeper into various EU-related topics without having to explain the basics. (by the way: this media organisation is extremely tiny (we are two, the writer and the director/animator) and were working on this pro bono. This might explain the length of the video ;))

Because your politicians, the national ones who you elected yourselves, decided it.

Europe never was or will be my " nation ". My nation is Croatia and It will stay that way. We can cooperate but bounderies need to be set. The current state of the European union is an authoritarian dictatorship, imposing forcibly integrative laws and rules upon its member countries.

Why is it that European directives are valid for all member states and that there is no European constitution valid for all member states? There is only a draft. Does Europe assume that all European directives are de facto constitutional and are exempt from any legal controll? Something is missing here from a state law point of view. Can you explain the order of the sources of law in the EU?

European constitution? Are you kidding me? 500 million people in 28 different speaking countries and cultures under the same rule of law? It is natural that the EU has actual control over member states because that would make it a tyrant and the complete opposite of the democracy it is. As explained in the video it doesn't force the law on other member states but rather discusses the best compromise. The EU has no actual power if the member states don't agree.

The "constitution" of the EU is what we call the EU's primary law. It is made of the founding treaties in their amended versions: the Treaty on European Union ("TEU") and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union ("TFEU"). They were last amended in 2007, with the Treaty of Lisbon, and they act as the constitutional law of the Union. They contain everything about how the institutions work, how the legislative process functions, etc. There is a legal control on directives, since the European Court of Justice has the prerogative of judicial review. However, primary law can only be changed with other treaties (which require unanimity from all Member States).

Norway is the largest shareholder of mining company denounced for contamination in the Amazon. The Norwegian government, responsible for harsh criticism of environmental policies in Brazil is the main shareholder of the mining company Hydro, the target of denouncements by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) of Pará and of almost 2 thousand lawsuits for contamination of rivers and communities in Barcarena (PA), a municipality located in one of the most polluted regions of the Amazon rainforest. 840 Billion Dollars are stolen every year in Brazil by foreign countries, just in oil. The Norwegian Minister of Finance has just announced the profit of 120 billion dollars in 2022, which will increase to 138 billion dollars in 2023, in oil. Half of that profit is from Brazilian oil. That goes to Norway, for nothing, even without paying taxes to the Brazilian State. Everything is camouflaged and manipulated to hide, deny and even encourage an increase in theft, which is why the countries that most destroy the environment put pressure on the Brazilian Amazon. Because it has huge oil reserves and they have already destroyed almost all of its forests and now they want the rest of the Brazilian wealth. Say what they say, the Amazon still exists today, which would not have happened if it had been explored by the French, Israelis, Americans, Dutch, or English. The Norwegian Royal Family Member, Erling Sven Lorentzen, married with princess Ragnhild, sister of king Harald V of Norway, attacked and robbed the lands of the Amazonian Indians Tupinikim and Guarani, his company planted more than 1 million hectars of eucaliptus and left the natives without land and later without any water. In addition to facing lawsuits, the Hydro company has yet to pay fines stipulated by Ibama in the amount of R$ 17 million, after an overflow of toxic mud in rivers by one of its subsidiaries in the Amazon region, in 2009. According to Ibama, the spill placed the local population at risk and generated "fish kills and significant destruction of biodiversity". But all so called rich countries are stressing for destroying all the Amazon forest, because their ego is so rotten that they still prefer money, coins and material units to buy garbage and plastic toys, than life. After destroying all their own natural resources, they dont want that Brazil keep being the only country in the world who still have a big forest, because it wasnt transformed in money, like rich countries have done!

Christine Madeleine Odette Lagarde: A French woman who has been found guilty of embezzling 400 million euros of public money in the Tapie case, and who has never run a national central bank, should she run the ECB? Charles Michel: A Belgian who couldn't even form a functioning government in Belgium and who pacts with right-wing extremists should become Council President and balance increasingly complex national interests in the EU? Ursula vonderLeyen: An unsuccessful German minister who has only attracted attention through a mistaken tendency towards overpriced external advisers, mismanagement and euphemisms ("financial turnaround" for Germany's biggest armament effort since the end of the war) and who is supported by the illiberal Visegrád states, which previously rejected conservative Social Democrat Timmermans as a left-wing radical, is to become president of the EU Commission?

Petar Šarić It isn’t, nationalism is just another cultish religion that has no objective value, it has indeed a subjective value, but not objective, no. Unquestionably it was the culture of nationalism that allowed for the REAL DEGENERACY that used to happen in Europe in the past, animalistic tribes killing each other for no real reason. Degeneracy is the Second World War, not being the most powerful coalition of political powers on the planet (The EU and NATO).

Epic fail: the commission is the sole source of legislation.

I think it should be investigated if the state(s) now and then are legislated with the Bible written as a story. The word immunity (Latin immunitas, freedom from obligations to the state) comes from a religious revelation from the Middle Ages, most likely from a pope to become lawless, and which has since been rewritten into full immunity to the kings, personal and functional immunity (legally, cannot be prosecuted for the criminal act) to the prime ministers, governments, parliaments, cabinets, and Supreme Courts for law decisions and actions. I also think it should be investigated if millions of fallen soldiers in the world wars were elected by the people or not. The political exploitation of the vital ecosystem has now led to forest death (force majeure) how will it affect people's economy, etc. I think the Democrat Party can be a consciously misleading party name with all parties belonging to the Conservative Party, as current political democracy and socialism can only be about going more toward the middle. The reason may be that the king (head of state) wants to govern the people with full immunity together with the European presidents, parties, senates (origin, the Roman Empire), congresses, cabinets, prime ministers, governments, parliaments, and Supreme Courts with functional immunity, personal immunity for law decisions and actions, even with the misleading word professional politician. I think the people should consider voting for a real democratic party with an independent state formation to investigate if the king (head of state) together with the European presidents, senates (origin, the Roman Empire), congresses, cabinets, prime ministers, governments, parliaments, and Supreme Courts overall may be guilty of a violation of democratic rights with non-popular elections, economic crimes, violation of human rights with class society for adults and children, serious environmental crime (force majeure).
