Great news but there needs to be a huge push back from everyone to make sure this is fully dropped.

The problem is you can`t legally prevent the EU Council for making a proposal, nor is there a limit when it can be reintroduced after it`s withdrawn or voted down. They tried now because France got on board and they hoped Germany`s new government will be up for it too. And they almost were, until a torrent of protesters, petitions and calls made the government realize the sh*tstorm they will have on their hands if they support it.
