It’s perfectly fine, they use their power to achieve their goals (take your money, make you a woke slave).
You are (still) free to leave the EU. You just need to have a minimum-sized balls and some functioning neurons.

Europe’s mentality is completely broken. The moment you show any success, you become a target. Just look at @JohnLocke — no surprise he’s European (Danish, to be exact). He gets off on using his little bit of power to sabotage those doing better than him, all while whining about how unfair the system is.
As long as Europe remains infested with this kind of scum, it will get nothing better than Ursula. Because scum deserves to be ruled by its own kind.

Spain always delivers!

Well, Spain has a close relationship with China. Chinese companies exist and enjoy the tax benefits that were offered to them, but Three Letter Agency has the full background on that and won't give the precious treasure the information, meaning for free or without protection, or hidden interest, especially when it comes to national security.

Five EU states to test age verification app to protect children​

https://www.reuters.com/sustainabil...verification-app-protect-children-2025-07-14/

France, Spain, Italy, Denmark and Greece will test a blueprint for an age verification app to protect children online, the European Commission said on Monday, amid growing global concern about the impact of social media on children's mental health. The setup for the age verification app is built on the same technical specifications as the European Digital Identity Wallet which will be rolled out next year. The five countries can customise the model according to their requirements, integrate into a national app or keep it separately.
