EU budget: for citizens, by citizens 🇪🇺 💬 150 randomly selected citizens from all 27 EU countries joined the European Citizens’ Panel to shape the future of the EU budget. They came up with concrete recommendations - and we listened. Their input helped shape the new EU budget proposal…coming out tomorrow! #ThePowerOfTogether
A commendable initiative, we definitely want more involvement in the decision process, but we also need clear open calls and details of the selection. How were these 150 selected/contacted? How did the EU advertise this initiative to make sure that it reached as many citizens as possible?
Why not let everyone in EU say what they want not randomly choosen 150-this is not democracy at all. People wake up and say no to the hegemony. Who came up with this idea?
Yeah, thats democracy, 150 people ca 450mln.
