This 'destroy the rules' movement willingly ignores the actual cost: when business skips environmental rules, WE all pay with our health, polluted rivers and air + damaged farmlands.

Deregulation - the dark path to poison in your lungs, excrement in your rivers, carcinogens in your food.
A growing movement in Brussels is spreading the message that asking business to follow rules leads to economic death. They're working hard to destroy EU environmental + chemical protections.

By siding with far-right forces and corporate lobbies, MEPs signal that EU values and the rights of women and communities in the global South are negotiable when they collide with short-term corporate profit.
