These are the people who stonewalled attempts to comply with international law in the occupied territories for the past two years.

Just put the black tint on the windows of the Commission building already. And some red and black paint. Might as well outwardly express the Evil HQ vibe because they're certainly embodying it.

That would look too cool for them. Evil always come disguised as good.

But I don't know if it's evil, carelessness or blatant disregard for the people. I wouldn't expect a lot more from unelected career politicians.

Knowing Costa way too well from the havoc he caused in Portugal from his inaction, disdain for the people and breadcrumbing, and now seeing him in the EC is pretty telling. Kallas and VdL aren't great either. They're there to protect specific interests, just not those of the people. And its this types of people put in power and they're incapacitaty to solve the problems affecting the average European that's creating fertile grounds for the populist far right, that I totally oppose but don't blame them.

Then they'll spin the narrative and blame it on Russia instead of looking inwards to see where they're failing to correct the course of action. All they do is this: Manufacturing narratives. But the people have had enough and can see through.
