Secondly, it was achieved by the EPP after breaking down the firewall with the far right to:

- shut down compromise with the centre left
- get their way

This alliance is putting the writing on the wall for other omnibuses ➡️ bulldozing protections for citizens & the environment

The've officially done it – the centre-right EPP has voted with the far-right to cut protections for human rights & nature, all to boost corporate profits

This is an extremely worrying sign for upcoming proposals to strip away more protections for climate, labour rights, privacy and more

#omnibus
The adopted omnibus is pure deregulation on the EU's human rights, environmental and climate law.

Brought to you by the center right EPP turning away from pro democratic parties and working with the far right.

As Quelvin noted, in Guatemala when TNCs face sanctions for human rights or environmental abuses, they run to international arbitration “to coerce the state into allowing them to continue” their harmful activities. Instead, all commercial agreements must respect rights and the planet.

Speaking about Article 14, Quelvin emphasised the importance of establishing that human rights take precedence over trade and investment agreements, particularly #ISDS.

Margarita called for all business and investment projects on indigenous territories to recognise the autonomy and right to free, prior and informed consent of indigenous peoples, and that all of our futures depend on no longer treating the Earth as a commodity but as a sacred being.
