The EPP and the far right voted down the report on financing development. This short-sightedness weakens the EU’s global standing and credibility.
Now, a strong EP signal is missing ahead of the upcoming Conference in Seville.

Hurray! This is very good news. Finally a sign of support from our side of the world to get a #UNDebtConvention on the #FfD4 table, which has the potential to free up fiscal space for social spending.
We welcome the @europarl.europa.eu #Development Committee's support for a #UNDebtConvention in today's historical #FfD4 vote.
The UN is the only 🌍 institution with equal representation & can guarantee that creditors' interests aren't prioritised over the needs of millions of people!
