Which hidden dictatorships specifically?

The people who is behind and promotes stupid laws like this one

[–] TheJesusaurus@piefed.ca 5 points 2 days ago

Well, this isn't a law and nobody is promoting it. It's the result of some research funded by the EU. If a law ever comes of it, it is going to go through a whole pile of democratic hurdles within the EU, and then again within each individual member state.

So again I ask. Which hidden dictatorships within the EU specifically are you referring to?
