We welcome the @EuroParl_EN #Development Committee's support for a United Nations #DebtConvention in today's historical #FfD4 vote. The UN is the only 🌍 institution with equal representation & can guarantee that creditors' interests aren't prioritised over the needs of millions! A 🧵

🇪🇺’s neoliberal crisis is driving it to grab Africa’s resources for energy and industrial competitiveness. Making Africa pay the price for Europe’s prosperity? That’s the old colonial model, repackaged in the #GlobalGateway. Alexandra Gerasimcikova & Paul Okumu for Africa Is a Country
