The EU has always desired to be a "Unitarian" state with no dissenting voices.
Covid was a glimpse into how EU bureaucrats want to rule with centralized power dictates.

"As the European Union (EU) enlarges, the differences between member states in terms of political interests, economic influence and welfare systems will grow, so the association should give up its veto power in a number of areas".
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made such a proposal in his speech entitled "Europe is our future" , Reuters reports.

“Where unanimity is required today, the risk of an individual country exercising its veto power and preventing everyone else from moving forward increases with each new member state,” the politician said.

It appears to be a proposition, similar to how the initial mask and vaccine mandates were "guidance" and "advise" until people began losing their rights.

Poland had threatened to veto all EU initiatives, sue Brussels and create a coalition to remove the current head of the European Commission , Ursula von der Leyeny, along with her panel of European commissioners, if they refuse to allocate funds to fight the pandemic. As Krzysztof Sobolewski, general secretary of the country's ruling Law and Justice party, said, if the EU leadership "tries to pin us against the wall, we will have no choice but to take all the weapons from our arsenal" and respond with tit-for-tat tactics.
