EU doesn't tries to force a law. Some politicians does. EU is just a group of institutions.

Its not "the EU" that tries to force the law, it's the Council.

You know what the Council consists of? The heads of national governments.

You know who they're having to force it through against? The EU parliament, an actual EU-level institution.

The more accurate read would thus be "national governments are trying to force this against the will of the EU".

The fact that you come away with the exact opposite read is a good demonstration of said propaganda's effectiveness.
