Europe Direct centers have begun operations: there will be 18 offices in Hungary
Today, representatives from more than 400 Europe Direct centers are gathering in Brussels to coordinate their local strategies for the coming years and to share best practices for involving local communities and creating democratic spaces.
This event marks the start of the new generation of the Europe Direct network. Europe Direct is a network of centers supported by the European Commission that aims to promote local engagement. The centers are designed to serve as hubs for debate and engagement, enabling citizens to discuss how EU policies shape their daily lives.
The network will have a strong focus on democracy. Europe Direct centers will increasingly act as local hosts for discussions about Europe, providing a space for people to meet and discuss European issues. Through event formats that engage the general public as much as possible and through direct dialogue, the centers will support citizens’ participation in debates and involve them more in democratic life. This work also supports the Commission’s efforts to strengthen the resilience of democratic systems across Europe, in cooperation with social partners, including through the European Democracy Shield initiative and citizens’ debate groups.
Using our money to spread propaganda.
We don’t want or need “local engagement” and “debates.” We don’t want or need an invasion of third-world criminal hordes. We don’t want or need deindustralization. We don’t want or need Net Zero zealotry. We don’t want or need more laws, more censorship, more bureaucracy, more restrictions on our liberties. We don’t need more “free trade” that destroy the few jobs we’ve got left.
We need safety for our children, our women, our senior citizens. We need an environment that supports job creation. We need cheap and plentiful energy. We need small government and low taxes. We need individual nations ahead of Europe, and we need Europe ahead of non-Europeans.
The E.U. is fighting for the former. The Hungarian government is fighting for the latter. No amount of E.U. politburo branches cranking out their silly agitprop will change that.
