🚨New paper alarm🚨 With Trump back, European sovereignty discourse is back. But what does sovereignty actually mean? And how could it be strengthened for the members of the EU today (esp. given the challenges recently & clearly identified by Hans Kundnani in Dissent Magazine)? 1/8

Government spending cuts under 🇦🇷 president Milei: Investment in science and technology is collapsing (lowest levels since the restoration of democracy), sharp cuts also on infrastructure, youth/family, education, health and security - but large increases for State Intelligence.

NEW PAPER: The 2022 fossil fuel price jumps caused an oil and gas profit explosion. We show the US reaped the largest profit increase (USD 275bn) of any country. Big Oil claims this benefits the American people. In fact, 51% went to the richest 1%, only 1% to the bottom 50%. A 🧵

🚨#CompetitivenessCompass is out🚨 There is a big misstep from the Commission. It is not the rules protecting people, climate & environment holding companies back but the lack of investment & high energy prices driven by the EU’s fossil gas dependency⬇️ caneurope.org/competitivenes…

We want a deal that ensures European industries lead in the transition to a sustainable economic model—one that generates social benefits within planetary boundaries. Here is our position paper on #CleanIndustrialDeal ⬇️ caneurope.org/can-europe-pos…

📢 Ahead of the #CleanIndustrialDeal unveiling, CAN Europe urges industrial policies that drive the transition - not a blank check for polluters. Strong social & environmental conditions, ambitious climate & energy targets, and less fossil fuels reliance must be at the core. 🌍

Niemand durft dat nog vragen, hoeveel subsidies ondernemers die fulmineren tegen subsidies en bureaucratie ontvangen. Mij niet gelaten, maar het is het een of het ander. x.com/gregvanelsen/s…
