Ugh it’s not gonna pass. There is only 1 out of 12 months left for collecting signatures and they’re only at 25%.

No worries, we’re in the process so a year or so more for our passports, we’ll be able to vote in the next EU election cycle.

I voted for Czechia but I’m not sure if it makes much difference as we’re far from reaching the threshold anyway…

Also, I wonder what causes this split…
My guess is that it’s mainly just missing Information?
- SubArcticTundra ( @SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml ) 1•22 days ago

As somone who lives in Poland: Marxism is not a thing here.
- SubArcticTundra ( @SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml ) 2•19 days ago
Hmm, that could be it. Although I support it and I’m a centrist
- BlackLaZoR ( @BlackLaZoR@fedia.io ) 2•19 days ago
I support it and I’m a centrist
By supporting it alone, you’d be considered a far left there.

Yeah, in Hungarian news sites, I haven’t seen it and besides, average voter is extremely skeptical about these kind of petitions

Actually I like that it’s a sort of race to see who gets there first
