An important precedent and interesting process to watch out for. Whatever the outcome, this is democracy giving itself the tools to defend its values.

This vote is not a political decision to de-register ESN, but only a recognition that the facts gathered by the APPF are valid and justify opening a verification procedure.

But, for this to properly work, we need more #transparency, as @louisdrounau.eudemocracy.eu argues in @maxgriera.bsky.social's piece for @politico.eu.
