if only was that simple...

Last week, when the EU Parliament dismantled the Green Deal (CSRD/CSDD), it wasn't only the EPP and the far-right groups that voted for the Omnibus.

Curious to know who they are?

Europe’s so-called frugal countries are once again joining forces to try to limit the size of the EU’s estimated €2 trillion long-term budget as negotiations heat up.
