I once liked the EU. Well still do it because of the east to travel without borders. But it's leadership is something dangerous and may shape to some form of dictatorship or entity that does not serve its people. But a small minority consisting out of some large companies.

The EU leadership is the leaders of the 27 sovereign countries

Now you can argue there is a democratic deficit in those countries, sure.

This is a proposal from one wing of polititians that still hasn't even passed a basic voting process in EU parliament.

So what exactly are you screeching about? Which nation on this world has leadership that never proposes anything like this? Which one is 100% pure and noone even thinks about bad things to bring up to a vote?

I think EU will manage without you liking it. But painting its leadership as the one trying to shape dictatorship is incredible ignorant.

Europe is preparing for the Russia invasion from one side, and betrayal by the US from the other.

A country serving small minority of large companies is the best description of the US, not the EU.
