> Just within a business or bar or family, dissenting opinions are everywhere. Unlike a business, every little opinion and workgroup and project are a matter of public record and are aimed at affecting public policy. So yeah, it sure seems like "They" are a bunch of hypocrites.

This is simply not true. See e.g. here, how the commission does not publish dissenting internal comments in the official meeting minutes: https://www.ftm.eu/articles/controversy-between-european-com...

OK, so everything I said was true except

> matter of public record

referring to

> every little opinion and workgroup?

I think we're discounting inches. Perhaps not public record always in all countries, but my broad strokes comment stands.

This is the damn minutes from the commission meetings, which are being censored, not every little workgroup. And furthermore, this is not common knowledge. Most people are lead to think that the commission publishes full minutes from their meetings.

I can assure you that the censoring goes much deeper than this. EU and especially the commission are not being open, while working hard to create the impression that they are.
