The campaign has irked some recipients. “In terms of dialog within a democracy, this is not a dialog,” said Lena Düpont, a German member of the European People’s Party group and its home affairs spokesperson, of the mass emails.

Then open your eyes and ears and pay attention. If you did, then people wouldnt be forced to send you these emails. Germany is still "undecided" on this issue and we could basically single-handedly decide the outcome. If Germany votes against then it wont pass.

For crying out loud.. she is right. After she/they didn't initiated the much needed dialog (for the xth. time), this was a protest note, sent by those they were talking about, but not listening to. Still a very democratic process.

At no point did i say that this is a dialog. Im just say she shouldnt be mad at the people emailing, but at her government.

The quote says: "this is not a dialog". I'm arguing against Düpont as they failed to initiate a dialog the several times they tried to pass the exact same regulation.

Ah silly me. I just woke up... Thanks for making me read your comment again with my brain turned on.
