📢DIW Berlin's Marcel Fratzscher: "Excellent (factchecking) DER SPIEGEL article with an overview of scientific studies that find that #austerity #policy & spending cuts help especially the extreme right parties, such as the #AfD, to win votes at elections."👇 x.com/MFratzscher/st…

The new 🇪🇺 fiscal rules are barely in place but one thing seems already pretty clear: As had to be expected, the central role of the debt sustainability analysis has led to a significant decrease in transparency of the system, making it prone to political exploitation. Thread:

Ein dude zu Christian Lindner: „13.000 Bürgergeldempfänger haben im letzten Jahr Jobangebote einmalig abgelehnt und wurden dafür sanktioniert. Das ist ein Rand der Gesellschaft. Der andere Rand der Gesellschaft besteht aus 2 Familien, die so viel haben wie 42 Millionen Deutsche.“ 🫳 🎤

Will the EU global discussions on #EU wealth tax? Valdis Dombrovskis promises to at least launch a survey investigating wealth-related taxes in EU...

Mehr als wahrscheinlich. Mit der realistischeren Budgetschätzung des Fiskalrat Büro ist klar: Die #Budgetpolitik der scheidenden Bundesregierung wird unausweichlich zu einem EU-#Defizitverfahren führen. Was bedeutet das nun konkret? Ein 🧵 aus den tiefen der #Fiskalregeln 1/

Can we now finally have a serious conversation about an anti-fascist economics?

“The outcome of the deal will be damaging to crucial environmental efforts & social improvements. Budget cuts can severely weaken initiatives to fight the climate crisis, making it impossible for Member States to invest in a just transition.” Katy Wiese themintmagazine.com/dont-take-the-…

Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel is in favour of a reform of the debt brake.

Business associations of the biggest EU economies, BDI 🇩🇪 Confindustria 🇮🇹 and Mouvement des Entreprises de France 🇫🇷, are right to call for strong and increased public investment. 🚨But, excluding social, climate and environmental investments and focusing on competitiveness and growth is a bad move.

💸 What do #BlackFriday ads really mean? Spoiler alert: these "bargains" aren't as great as they seem once you uncover the hidden price tags of overproduction, waste and pollution🧐 Get your ads translated here👇 meta.eeb.org/2024/11/27/bla… The Consumer Voice

Online sales & questionable marketing practices drive overconsumption. For example, limited-time offers such as #BlackFriday drive a sense of urgency and scarcity, triggering purchases out of the fear that we will miss out. Read more below ⬇️

"One can hardly see the new fiscal rules as an improvement...They will demand significant budget cuts for most Member States to meet the fiscal consolidation requirements." Katy Wiese on why the EU's new fiscal rules are a step in the wrong direction. lght.ly/2m1481o

'Advancing the Economy within Planetary Boundaries' Heute fand der erste Austausch mit @FoEEurope, @weall_alliance, European Environmental Bureau, European Youth Forum & BeyondGrowthEurope im EU-Parlament statt. Thema: Wie schaffen wir Wohlstand & Nachhaltigkeit innerhalb planetarer Grenzen?

Yesterday we co-organised an exchange on how to further advance the #beyondgrowth agenda in the #EU. Going to be challenging but looking forward to work with motivated people across the #EU institutions. European Environmental Bureau

🇪🇺 On Tuesday, we discussed with experts and MEPs in the European Parliament how to continue pushing the EU to move #BeyondGrowth. 🔥🌎 The pursuit of a business-as-usual neoliberal agenda is NOT going to solve the polycrises we're facing.

Die EU #Fiskalregeln haben ihre Paradoxien und sind eigentlich nicht vermittelbar. Wir haben uns die #Alterungskosten herausgegriffen u. es diesbez. versucht: so muss der alterungsbedingte Ausbau d. Gesundheits- und Pflegeleistungen bereits bis 2028/31 zT vorfinanziert werden 1/3

Check out our op-ed with the brilliant @CFerKic from EDRi on why the fixation of the EU on technology to solve the climate is problematic & what a may16 approach to AI & #digitalisation could mean ⬇️ euobserver.com/Digital/ar125f… EUobserver European Environmental Bureau
