ELDR Congress: of censorship and fish, both of them frozen?

It's currently snowing here in Helsinki, and even before it started, you could almost taste the snow in the air.

I had an early morning scrutineers meeting, where I discovered that my job was in fact to count votes in the hall when necessary, like our stewards at Federal Conference do when a counted vote is required.

The plenary session on the Congress resolutions was fairly uneventful. A LYMEC resolution calling for censorship of offensive websites, as opposed to blocking, was defeated. Personally, I was surprised that a group so consistently supportive of freedom was even tempted by the notion of censorship, but there you go.

But just to prove that ELDR is not afraid to debate the big issues, we voted to oppose the renewal of the EU-Morocco Fisheries Agreement. Say no to the theft of Western Saharawi fish!
