European lawmakers greenlighted a pivotal move on Wednesday, scrapping national vetoes for EU member states. The Verhofstadt Group's proposal, backed by 291 MEPs, aims for EU treaty amendments, centralizing power and challenging member states' sovereignty. The razor-thin majority of 17 underscores the contentious nature of this shift. The debate exposed dissent, with accusations of veto misuse and counterclaims of EU transformation. We are witnessing the rise of a supetstate and further politizising og the EU Commission.

The Polish MEP Saryusz-Wolski called the move “a silent putsch with communist roots.”
