After last year’s heatflation comes this year’s sogflation.

There will be many more extreme weather events to come. We need a new kind of emergency economics to avoid erratic cycles of shocks and sellers’ inflation.

The Economic Governance reform adopted today by a majority of MEPs ignores the pain caused by the financial crisis and the consequences of #austerity measures on people's lives.

See which political groups voted in favour of a new austerity plan for Europeans ⬇️

Yesterday, the European Parliament approved the #fiscalrules . Until 2028, we could see a new wave of austerity packages of around 4% of GDP in half of the Euro Area; due to the methods to analyse #debtsustainability – a problem, which could be fixed without changing the rules. A 🧵 1/8

Together with my friends from #FiscalMatters we followed & fought for better #EU fiscal rules for over 4 years. I feel so disappointed & defeated. This is such a huge mistake.

Les sociaux-démocrates, conservateurs et libéraux viennent de choisir le retour à l'austérité.
Ces règles budgétaires sont une camisole de force qui confisqueront tous les moyens financiers indispensables pour garantir un avenir économique, social, et climatique en Europe.

Polls show citizens’ priorities for the European elections are living standards, jobs, health, housing, the environment and education

All things Europe won’t be able to deliver on if MEPs vote for austerity 2.0 tomorrow - ✍️ Esther Lynch for EUobserver

🔴'Crippling our economies will have consequences for the whole of the EU'

An open letter to MEPs from the leaders of Belgian, French, Italian and Spanish trade unions ahead of tomorrow's European Parliament vote on new austerity rules etuc.org/en/pressreleas…

Tomorrow is the last chance to reject EU fiscal rules that bring austerity & are a threat to people, our quality of life and our precious planet.
🆘 We call MEPs to vote NO for the new EU fiscal rules! #fiscalmatters

Unless all progressives snap out of their slumber & reject the austerity pact tomorrow in the European Parliament, they shall be complicit in our downfall.

European Parliamentarians are urged to vote to the failed reform of the fiscal rules. A deep debate on the European economic governance is still needed. greentervention.org/2024/04/18/eng… CAN EUROPE Katy Wiese Sebastian Mang Finance Watch Patrick Kaczmarczyk Alain Grandjean Greentervention

Schon erstaunlich, wenn Christian Lindner behauptet, die Schuldenbremse sichere Investitionen. Das Gegenteil trifft zu: Die Hauptfunktion der Schuldenbremse besteht darin, dem Staat die Möglichkeit zu nehmen, wie ein Unternehmen rentable Investitionen über Kredite zu finanzieren.

#Städte & #Gemeinden weisen ein enormes #Klimaschutz -Potenzial auf. Damit es gehoben wird, brauchen sie budgetären Spielraum für #Investitionen - der ist jedoch schrumpfend. Ein langfristig angelegter kommunaler Klima-Investitionsfonds kann Abhilfe schaffen. Blog-Beitrag & 🧵1/7

Budget cuts, #fiscalrules that would prevent financing the #justtransition & a 🇪🇺strategic agenda focused on competitiveness & productivity... while people keep reminding the need for more #SocialEurope . #FiscalMatters concerns & recs in our letter before the special EU Council⬇️

Die neuen EU-Fiskalregeln lassen nur 3 Ländern genügend Spielräume für die nötigen sozialen & ökologischen Investitionen.

Deshalb unterstützen wir als Teil von FiscalMatters den offener Brief für einen neuen EU-Zukunftsfonds für die Transformation!👇
