Exactly the same with the Portuguese parties. The conservative PSD voted against (like "Pirates"), and the socialist PS voted in favour (like the polish "PiS"). I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!

Wer hat uns verraten? Sozialdemokraten!

The SPD is social democrat in name only, in reality, since the first Schröder government, they have been a cheap CDU copy.

And when it comes to supporting authoritarian bullshit, they do have a long history. In the early days of Weimar Republic, the Ebert government did collaborate with far-right paramilitary groups in order to quell unrest. (Using machine guns on striking workers and murdering leaders of opposing political movements)

The SPD has been for it for atleast 20 decades. Cdu/csu...idk they are weird

And PP and PSOE too

It seems to be the case in most other countries. I don't get it either. I can only think that those barely left from center parties are all falling for the "gotta protect the kids against all evil by removing all anonymity". But all those right parties... Are they against chat control? Since when? Or is it the wrong kind of chat control for them? Don't get it at all, but well, at least this crap was rejected (until the next time they try again).

German Social Democrats are actual vegetables. They don‘t think. They just do what they‘re told. I genuinely forget they exist sometimes. It feels like this country is ruled by conservatives and no one else.

Probably offered consultant or manager positions for after their political careers as a bribe.

Austrians doing the same with SPÖ in favor and ÖVP against

most socalist governments like mine (Spain's) vote in favour of these kind of stuff. They want more control, not less lol. And believe it or not, most right wing parties that usually are somewhat nationalist, tend to believe their own people deserve privacy or media freedom or whatever, no matter what other countries think

... so the usual...

That vile creep is still around? Wasn't he caught taking bribes or somehting?

On toward Die Linke and Grünen!

SPD bein traitorous

A trait as old as time

From Rosa Luxembourg to today

because civil liberties don't fit neatly into a left-right spectrum, despite being a lot more important than the economic policies that the left-right spectrum aims to describe, which is why I think the left-right spectrum is mostly useless

Yess! Indeed interesting, maybe member of german and Austria far right parties use chat apps within scope and fear to get caught doing whatever they do 🤔

Why in Germany and Austria far-right (AfD, CDU, OVP) are against

I guess a combination of contrarianism and the control not going far enough.

Yes, and it also says LIBE, which is the committee, not plenary, where this was recently voted on. It's clearly not enough members for a plenary vote, this post is misinformation as titled.

The Italian left voted in favour (what a huge disappointment). FI voted against and it's a right wing party.

All of those Spanish votes against it are from the right

Nunca pensaba que estaría de acuerdo con alguien de PP

Bin auch überrascht CDU und AfD auf der richtigen Seite des Grabens zu sehen. Ob das ein versehen war?

I also see no Croatia at all.

For the Dutch absentee, that's very typical for that party. Always shouting everything is wrong, but never there to fix things.
