[BONNE NOUVELLE]

Ce 27 nov. une très grande majorité de députés votent une résolution appelant E. Macron à s'opposer à l'accord UE-Mercosur et à construire une minorité de blocage, pas à négocier une clause de sauvegarde inefficace.
Notre réaction : www.collectifstoptafta.org/accord-ue-me...
Seuls les macronistes se sont abstenus lors d'un vote à l'Assemblée nationale d'une résolution « invitant le Gouvernement de la République française à s’opposer à l’adoption de l’accord commercial entre l’Union européenne et le Mercosur »

The #ToxicTradeTour hit Brussels this morning with pesticide barrels & green sludge showing what’s at stake when leaders won't answer for trade justice.

🇪🇺 Commission President von der Leyen & 🇧🇪 PM de Wever: will you choose farmers, nature & people above corporate profits? Will you #StopEUMercosur?

#EUMercosur is nearing ratification & it’s going to bring toxins to our tables, deforestation to the Amazon & violence to indigenous peoples.

This is a slimy, dirty trade deal.

Join us in Brussels on Monday for the last stop of the #ToxicTradeTour & show EU leaders what this deal really is about.

145 MEPs tabled a motion to refer the EU-Mercosur deal to the Court of Justice of the EU

The EPP wants to block that motion at a key meeting TONIGHT

Why? If the deal is legal, let the courts say so

What’s the EPP afraid of?

Is it because they think the court will find an issue?

105 members of Congress, led by Rep.DeLauro, are demanding a USMCA that puts people over profit, stronger labor protections, and eliminates ISDS corporate courts.

It’s time to rewrite the deal for workers, farmers, and communities, not Big Tech and corporate interests.

Depois de percorrer várias cidades da Europa, chega ao Campo Pequeno com uma mensagem forte contra o acordo tóxico UE-Mercosul, com o objectivo de confrontar o Governo sobre o que está realmente em jogo com o acordo comercial entre a UE e o Mercosul: 💀 Mais pesticidas - atentando contra a soberania alimentar e a saúde ⚖️ Menos proteção para os pequenos e médios agricultores e trabalhadores rurais 🏦Atentado contra a democracia ao descartar o debate e aprovação da parte comercial do acordo na Assembleia da República e ser deliberado apenas no Parlamento Europeu. #toxictradetour #tradejustice #climatejustice #solidarity

Forty-four French organisations have signed an open letter urging President Emmanuel Macron to “clarify” France’s stance and take action to block the South American Mercosur trade agreement, which they regard as both unfair and even dangerous.

The #ToxicTradeTour saying NO to #EU-Mercosur began today in Vienna.

Standing in front of parliament, figures dressed as the leaders of Austria's governing coalition were dunked in green slime when they tried to perpetuate myths about the controversial trade deal

What was the 'Battle in Seattle'? Who won? How did it shape the movement for trade justice globally and in Europe?

It was wonderful to have @danieldenvir.bsky.social join us recently to unpick these questions for the latest episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social podcast

It's good to remind ourselves of our history - the shoulders we stand on and the struggle that has gone before

2️⃣ Oil & gas giant Klesch group (registered in tax heaven Jersey btw) is suing 🇩🇰 + 🇩🇪 + 🇪🇺 to dodge the windfall tax on energy firms.

Example 1️⃣ Sanctioned Russian oligarch Fridman is weaponising #ISDS to sue Luxembourg for freezing his assets, demanding a mind-blowing $16 billion payout. While war victims get nothing, ISDS protects war profiteers.
