I like how this only serves to galvanise both of the supporter groups (both of which will blame leftists for whichever outcome) over basically nothing, and yet will have no actual impact no matter how it’s resolved. I guess it’s not an election year and there are barely any debates, so they need to get eyeballs on newscorp ads somehow.
“Oh wow, they replaced Joe Biden with Joe Biden’s hand-picked Vice President. It’s basically a whole new country!”
E: To be fair, the democrats might actually have a better chance at the next election if they drop Biden (dead) because of this. Which means they’ll fight tooth and nail for the old geezer because if they win too much they might have to keep their promises.
I think it also has to do with the Schengen deal and making it easier for Latin American tourists to visit Spain and Portugal, as well as Rome which is a highly regarded tourism location for Catholics.
I think the same map mostly applies to all other EU countries, though your max stay is 3 months with no permits.
