I'm also European and I cannot agree more with you.

This, combined with the fact that dictators and authoritarian leaders like Orbán and Fico, are not being sanctioned to hell. EU let Orbán turn Hungary into an autocracy since 2012, and even with all the human rights violations, spying on EU officials with Pegasus spyware, allowing Chinese and Russian spies in EU soil, the EU still cannot proceed towards blocking their voting power because the stupid bureaucrats think they can get Fico and Orbán to change their mind.

We need people with the same make-do mentality as these two in the EU, but that actually defend EU principles. So they can say like "oh, you're violating the EU charter here, we've warned you several times and you're not complying. Okay. from now on all those 22 billion you would receive are not going to you anymore. You lost that money."

Take off the EU funds and these countries will very quickly fix the issues the EU pointed out. They don't help the EU with any money and probably will be like that for the next decades.

Imagine how disruptive Chat Control would be in the hands of the autocrats...
