🇬🇧On the outcome of the European elections: Many thanks to our 186.000 #Pirates voters in Germany. Congratulations to @marketkag who will be the last #Pirate to represent us in the new EU Parliament.

The bitter election result (due in part to our own mistakes) is a disaster for us, the progressive parties as a whole and for digital civil liberties. We will live to regret this. The conservatives and far right triumph, which will mean less #transparency and less #freedom – only mentioning #ChatControl and #EUGoingDark. None of this has even been discussed in the runup to this election.

If you are also shocked by this development and want to do something about it, I encourage you to:
💪🏴‍☠️join the Pirate movement today and get involved so that we can do better and organise political countermeasures (including extra-parliamentary ones)! https://european-pirateparty.eu/members/
✊📢🗣🪧join a civil liberty organisation now and get involved in the resistance against a high-tech surveillance state! https://edri.org/about-us/our-network/
