I said that already to some of you, but generally Strasbourg EP is a depressing place… seeing the Wikipedia going dark one after another was so uplifting! I know this was done for the cause, but it was reassuring on the personal level none the less. And it stung the defenders of the existing balance of power where it hurts. It is a privilege and an honor to work with such a motivated community of great integrity. I (but I think all the policy people agree?) are happy to carry your voice forward.
Celebrate, rest, and we will get back to work! :)
Best wishes, Anna

Can't come up with anything that Delphine and Jan haven't already said. Thank you for your hard work, and know that y'all are an asset to the movement. Best regards, Matthias Smed Larsen Den 05-07-2018 kl. 12:23 skrev Dimitar Parvanov Dimitrov:
Dear list,
The plenary of the European Parliament has just rejected the Legal Affairs Committee with 278-318 votes and 31 abstentions.
This was a roll-call vote so will we know exactly who voted how.
This was a very tiring campaign that took us on an emotional rollercoaster ride. Thanks to all volunteers and staff who helped. I am convinced that it was us and our actions that made the difference of 30 votes possible.
Please remember though, that this just means that the EP will review the text in September in plenary. We will need to make sure amendment proposals are made and they receive a majority.
We will start working on this right away later today, but for the moment you will understand that I need a drink.
Cheers from Strasbourg,
Dimi
