So lost, bin schwer enttäuscht. V.a. von der #SPD. Die hat von sozial-ökologischer Transformation offenbar noch nichts gehört. Fliegen muss teurer nicht günstiger werden, #Luftverkehrssteuer Senken geht gar nicht. Und das #VerbrennerAus muss stehen! @spdfraktion.de @spdklimaforum.bsky.social @spd.de

Dammbruch im EU-Parlament: Eine Mehrheit aus Konservativen und Rechtsextremen hat heute ökologische und menschenrechtliche Regulierungen abgesägt.

Das heißt: Union und AfD machen nun auf europäischer Ebene gemeinsam Politik – zu Lasten von Menschen und Planeten.

Das darf so nicht durchgehen.

🚨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

And here is the second, 'Mr. Hyde' part of today's votes - where the EPP sides with the far-right, ranging from the ECR, to Orban & Le Pen's 'Patriots for Europe' and the AfD's 'Europe of Sovereign Nations' for a centre-right to far-right majority on the Omnibus 'deregulation':

Update
Today what was forecast 👆 came to pass. In the European Parliament the centre-right EPP voted with all shades of the right, against the centre & left, to gut EU legislation on corporate responsibility to ensure environmental and social sustainability

If today’s vote on Omnibus I passes with EPP+ECR+Patriots support, it establishes the operational majority for the rest of von der Leyen's term

This will have major economic and societal consequences at the time these groups chose Trump over the EU

To all #CivilSociety (and #NGO) haters (because of their transformative asks): here is the official answer from the EU level: we need more & better #participation, not less. Now it's up to us to make it come true, and to not let center-right wet dreams of killing critical voices become reality)!
❗ The long-awaited EU Civil Society Strategy is here. But can it deliver a #TrueCivicSpace?

Herr Merz, verspielen Sie den Aufbruch nicht!

Das Sondervermögen könnte so wichtige Impulse für Wirtschaft, Klima und Zukunft setzen.

Doch Merz versenkt einen Großteil in Stillhalteprämien für Markus Söder.

Wir fordern: Steuern Sie um!

Promising! But can it deliver?

📰 @eucivilsociety.bsky.social thinks so, calling it “a good and necessary first step.”
