BREAKING We're challenging the @ec.europa.eu for sneakily making it harder for people to access documents.

It's an unlawful move that goes against several court rulings on access to information. Today, we're fighting for everyone's right to have a say in decisions that affect us all. 🧵

Under the excuse of “simplification & competitiveness” of rules, the EU is getting ready, under the pressure of liberals, conservatives and businesses, to re-open and weaken many of its flagship green measures ❌

Thank god, we got Bernie 🔥
Mr. President: Instead of stealing Greenland from Denmark, I have a better idea.
 
In Denmark, everyone is guaranteed health care, college education is free, parents receive 1-year of paid paternity leave & workers don’t make less than $22 an hour. 

Let's steal those ideas.

🚨 Last week, some European conservatives have launched a full blown attack on environmental NGOs.

Claiming the 🇪🇺 Commission has paid NGOs to lobby members of the European Parliament on its behalf on Green Deal.

No, you didn’t mishear. In his speech to the European Parliament, Mark Rutte implied Europe spends too much on social security, healthcare, and pensions. He suggested diverting some of that spending to defence and security instead of raising taxes. 🧵👇
