In <a href=\"https:\/\/www.piratenpartei.de\/2019\/05\/27\/europas-piraten-stark-wie-nie-zuvor\/\">Germany<\/a>, Dr. Patrick Breyer will replace <a href=\"https:\/\/juliareda.eu\/en\/\">Julia Reda<\/a>, who has done so much to fight the copyright monopolists and advance the cause of freedom of speech and personal freedom.  In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pirati.cz\/tiskove-zpravy\/brusel-pirati-maji-tri-europoslance.html\">Czech Republic<\/a>, Marcel Kolaja, Mark\u00e9ta Gregorov\u00e1 and Mikul\u00e1\u0161 Peksa will be the first Pirates outside of Germany and Sweden to join the European Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.election-results.eu\/national-results\/luxembourg\/2019-2024\/\">Luxembourg Pirate Party received 7.7% of the vote<\/a> and came in sixth place. Unfortunately, due to the size of Luxembourg&#8217;s delegation, that was not enough to elect any Pirate Party MEPs.  In local elections held at the same time, Pirates won in municipalities from France to Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We congratulate the European Pirate Parties for their efforts and wish the four new Pirate MEPs swift sailing for the next five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thanks to <a href=\"http:\/\/gregorova.eu\/\">Mark\u00e9tka Gregorov\u00e1<\/a> for the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MarketkaG\/status\/1133142544693514241\">accompanying picture<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Based on the latest election results, four Pirates will join the European Parliament for the next five years.
