PO being the main party and de facto management of the KO coalition.

To be honest, this surprised even me. Maybe this is Tusk just trying to please the right. Issue is, they are going to attack the EU and him whether he does this or not.

We need a multi speed Europe for the countries who want a European Federation and become part of it and what will very likely end up being the rule takers.

Seems to be the big agreement at the moment, the question being about who's in who's out and what that entails.

It honestly feels like a very high price to pay for the sake of rapid expansion. It doesn't feel appropriate to remove the unanimity rule before the EU becomes a true union of federated states. The usual Polish existential populist rhetoric notwithstanding, it is the wrong approach to European integration (broken clocks occasionally being right, etc). At this point, for me it's enough to reject this report.

For fairness: It is positive that the report suggests giving the right of initiative to the Parliament. The plan for the Commission is also an improvement although it sounds a bit confused.

We need a EU security Council and just put Germany and France in.

Ahh a few weeks after the elections and the weak centrist already gives in. Pathetic.
