#FfdD4
Once again stark contrast between what’s being said and what’s being done at #FfdD4: „We've been fighting against egoism and shortsightedness“, says Sanchez. Looking back, the conference promoted exactly those two things, avoiding to talk about #DebtCancellation at all cost.

Summary of Multistakeholder 5 at closing session of #FfdD4: Broad consensus among countries that the sovereign #debt architecture requires a lot of reform and that many middle income countries are currently facing debt distress. Call for a new international legal instrument.

Feeling inspired after listening to a statement by G. Gonzalez from @ChildrenandYouth at #FfdD4. He envisions a future in which Bretton Woods Institutions are not guided by GDP but planetary health index and the circle of debt traps is broken. #ClimateFinanceNow #SystemChangeNow

For the first time in 4 days at #FfdD4, civ society was just officially welcomed and greeted at an official event by the panel. Pleasantly surprised by this since we've been largely excluded. Might have to do with our action just now? Better late than never, @UN @carlos_cuerpo

Last day of the conference started with a bang: After days of waiting, civ society was finally permitted a small action inside #FfdD4. Confusingly, we were not allowed to use the words #democracy, #genocide, #climate finance, #peace, #freedom, #womensrights or #humanrights. Get the irony @un.org?

At #FfdD4 a very tired delegate is sleeping with her head on the table. Hasn’t moved in 25 mins. A completely normal bodily response to endless finance jargon. Should I wake her to discuss such unconditional #debt cancellation and debt audits? #FfD4People #RiseUp #CancelTheDebt

Our comrade Ali @malimalimali97 just delivered a great statement with a crystal clear message: Don’t swap your debts, audit them! Debt swaps offer no way out of the trap. @WorldBank, @IMFnews #FfdD4 #debtswapscam #FfD4People #DebtJusticeNow

The chorus of critical voices at #FfdD4-plenary is growing. The rep of #Samoa just urged the GN to #PayUp the promised development assistance, highlighting that many countries in the GS spend more on #debt than healthcare. @theworldbank.bsky.social @intmonetaryfund.bsky.social, listen up!

People fuming at the civil society press conference, the only one that CSOs were allowed to have at #FfdD4. The @UN has very undemocratically tried to silence CSO voices, trying to drown out criticism of the unacceptable outcome doc. @eurodadnews.bsky.social @debtjustice.bsky.social @caneurope.org
