     @lihram @aral @signalapp It is even more important now do contact the member countries MEPs because we still need to create a blocking minority in the EU council.

     One organization in Sweden, @konstellationen, sent some questions to all the parties in the parlament.

     Here are the questions (in Swedish though):

     https://konstellationen.org/2024/09/12/chat-control-enkat/

     And they also encouraged people to email the parties.

     Would be nice if more organizations did that

     @samuel @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen

     I think we need to talk to the Ministry of Interior and Ministry of Justice. The voting will happen on that level. MEPs have nothing to do in this case. It's the representatives from the countries on that level or Coreper II.

     @bogo @lihram @aral @signalapp @konstellationen That is true. But in Sweden at least, the minister needs to have the parliament support.

     The issue was raised at the Justice Committee’s meeting in the Swedish parliament on 18 June. It was about whether Sweden would stand behind Belgium’s compromise proposal..

     However, the goverment was very sneaky and didn't send out documents beforhand. The MEP:s got the info on the meeting. Two parties who are against missed that they should oppose.
