The European Parliament and Member States just reached an agreement on introducing the Digital Identity, #eID.

Directly afterwards, #EU Commissioner Breton said: "Now that we have a Digital Identity Wallet, we have to put something in it...", suggesting a connection between #CBDC and eID.

They ignored all the privacy experts and security specialists. They're pushing it all through.

CBDCs are one of the greatest threats to freedom and liberty over the next 50 years. People should be very skeptical about giving this much control and surveillance power over to the government.
