We deplore that Renew, EPP & ID join forces against real reforms of the capital markets union.

We fight for savings & better pensions for all Europeans.

Conservatives & far right fight for bankers’ interests.

Break the status quo, ban inducements & conflicts of interests.

Un exemple de projet qui pour satisfaire les envies égoïstes de quelques privilégiés prend le risque de détruire toute une communauté et son milieu, tout en piétinant les principes fondamentaux de la démocratie locale... #climatejusticenow https://t.co/RgEqeWT8IF

Le GIEC & l'AIE : face à l'urgence climatique, il ne faut plus mettre en exploitation de nouveaux champs gaziers et pétroliers à partir de 2021

@TotalEnergies : ok, on remet 1,5 milliard $ dans un mega champ gazier au Qatar - fuck le climat - on n'écoute pas

Précision : avec mon ami @nicohaeringer nous avions proposé 10 principes pour nous guider par temps de crise énergétique. C'est à lire chez @AOC_media. C'est toujours largement valable, bien qu'à recontextualiser, 6 mois plus tard. https://t.co/PWQmfXaB4I

Puisque les "allocations" sont mises en cause, rappelons que le maquis des 2000 aides publiques aux entreprises représente 140 milliards € par an (2018) et augmente
➡️de 7,2% par an
➡️5 fois plus vite que le PIB
➡️3 fois plus vite que les aides sociales

Qui sont les assistés ?
