The EU is the ultimate centrist. They can be people-friendly, but also corporate-friendly. They're accused of being a neoliberal for a good reason.
That constant range from pro consumer & privacy friendly to getting wet of having their own surveillance state is pretty bipolar though. I know there's a lot of politicians & member states that make up the EU apparatus but it's still weird to see and I really wish the EU would fully embrace the former as there's really enough intrusive big state entities like that already.
