Bernhard Weidinger@bweidin.bsky.social · 3w agoThe annual "Identitarian" demonstration in Vienna 🇦🇹 was set to go down on July 25.

🇪🇺 Europe is taking control of its data, its supply chains, and its future. The Tech Sovereignty Package marks a major transformation in the EU’s approach to technology and a significant step forward in our efforts to strengthen Europe’s technological sovereignty.

Nearly 30% of the votes have been counted, and Tisza has 132 mandates. One more mandate would give them a two-thirds supermajority. #Hungary2026
👀 On #Hungary. Hope the election puts back some paprika into the goulash.
