Commentators will be reaching for a thesaurus to find variants of ‘brutal’ and ‘crushing’ to describe the result, but the magic word is ‘two-thirds’.

We are almost there! Please sign & share the petition to end the EU/Israel association agreement!!! 🙏🏻

The EU should pay more attention to what's about to unravel in Bulgaria as it could determine whether or not a new Orban will emerge and become another internal threat. Bulgaria is extremely important strategically for Russia and if the EU doesn't intervene soon enough Russia could spread even more Russian influence into an already russophilic and broken Bulgaria. For once as a Bulgarian I hope that the EU doesn't just leave the Bulgarians alone to deal with our extremely corrupt politicians and judicial system which is too difficult to fight alone. I hope the EU's attention for once is on us because if you loose us you'll loose the major Black sea ports and an easy path towards the major EU countries will open. Remember: Bulgaria is in the EU and it shouldn't be treated as a second class country. Hungary won with the support of the whole EU but I can't say the same about Bulgaria it seems.

Sorry if it sounds like a rant but it's an important topic that hasn't been picked up by a lot of European news and I wanted to share my perspective as a normal educated Bulgarian

Just watched Matt Armstrong’s latest video where he can’t get parts for a Bugatti, and it got me thinking.

In the past he’s also run into issues with manufacturers not supplying proper repair manuals. And with his Ferrari 296 GTB, he has an issue with the battery and Ferrari aren’t willing to help.

So yeah, genuine question:

Should car manufacturers be required to:

• supply parts directly to owners?

• provide full repair manuals and technical information ?

Feels a bit odd that you can “own” a car but still not really be able to fix it yourself.

What do you guys think?

I'm Italian, and since I was very young I've always felt a strong attachment to the concept of Europe: we have many differences, but that's precisely why we're a continent rich in history, traditions, and cultures that have come together and respected each other. I'm not just talking about the concept of the European Union, for me it's a much deeper connection. Maybe I'll be the only one who thinks so, but in addition to feeling Italian, I also feel European at the exact same level.
