Northsea National Union
Voted July 2, 2024
No

“We support opening the broadcasting and streaming market to greater competition, but complete deregulation should not come at the expense of basic protections for minors or Northsea’s ability to safeguard strategic media interests.”

“Those laws are super radical, we cannot take them as their are but we abstain cause we're sensible towards growth's problematics.”
