⚠️ Under misleading claims on #simplification, @eppgroup.bsky.social and the far-right alliance in @europarl.europa.eu dismantled the EU’s sustainability rules, including the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD)

#omnibus
🚨For the first time, @europarl.europa.eu has adopted a legislative mandate thanks to an alliance between conservatives & the far right

This vote marks a dangerous turning point for EU democracy. When anti-EU forces & lobbies write the rules, accountability dies
