🇪🇺 EU Defence Committee member van Lanschot (Volt) during trip to Kyiv: It's time to merge and Europeanise national political parties. Europe is not divided nationally, but ideologically. Move toward a Federal Europe

Wake me up when it’s not random bureaucrats making these statements and it’s the heads of the nation states making concrete arrangements

It's literally a Volt MEP. Bureaucrats is usually the term for people working for an administration.

Well technically it doesn't change the fact he is not important. This man is just one MEP out of 720 in an impotent parlement, so....

But it's true he's not a bureaucrats in the usual way, so this is an error by FatherMozgus.

On the other hand, he's right, those statements need to be said (and done) by actual EU leaders to be effective, not some random MEP. And this is the real issue in EU, not enough support for Federalism within our ruling class.

Do you know what sub you're on? Of course he's important to European federalists.

EU defence dudes always want to federalize because they think "someone else will go to war for me then".

It's not gonna work.
