Today we’re in Geneva for a global conversation on tackling poverty beyond economic growth after we contributed to this roadmap.
Poverty is not inevitable. It reflects how systems are designed and the choices we make.
Great to be joining @deschuttero.bsky.social pushing for rights-based solutions.
Condenamos el imperialismo liderado por #EstadosUnidos, incluida la agresión militar contra #Irán, #Venezuela y el #Líbano, el bloqueo ilegal de #Cuba y el genocidio de #Israel y EEUU en #Palestina. Llamamos a la paz!

Today at ILO in Geneva, @deschuttero.bsky.social presents the Global Roadmap to Eradicate Poverty Beyond Growth.
This roadmap is not just for the North but also for the South. Growth does not serve Southern nations in the duty to serve their population.
Check in here: live.ilo.org/group/eradic...
"The main obstacle [for social protection] is capitalism. Capitalism uses growth as a marketing term, and the economy as a return on investment."
@timparrique.bsky.social just now at the #EradicatingPovertyBeyondGrowth conference, hosted by ILO
Commissioner Séjourné held 84 meetings on #deregulation.
All 84 were with business groups.
Not one civil society org. Not one.
This isn't consultation.
This is what corporate capture looks like.

Merci voor de uitleg @filiberre.ke !
Supersuperjammer. En toch, ben ik alleen om te denken: als een Pogačar, Evenepoel of Van der Poel gaan soleren op deze manier, is er geen peloton die ze nog terugpakt?
Your daily reminder that the deregulation wave hitting the European Union is not merely a result of democratic results, but from deeply entrenched corporate capture, neglecting rule of law and shortcutting existing checks and balances.
La combinaison entre Timothée Parrique et Bienvenue Chez les Ch'tis n'est pas une que j'attendais aujourd'hui, mais tu ne m'entendras pas complaindre ! Bonne chance avec la série de conférences à Paris !
Trigger warning: reality
Why does the global economy need to end its obsession with GDP growth?
1️⃣ Growth does not equal wellbeing and equity
2️⃣ We are far from decoupling the stock of atmospheric carbon dioxide from economic growth

Our brave rebels are saying NO to dirty corporate lobbying, poisoning our food and contaminating our water.

Ever heard of cheesing?* 🧀
It's the perfect way to describe the game that's played by decisionmakers to destroy environmental & human rights protections:
1. Cheap tricks
2. Unfair
3. Overly easy
Watch & let us know who you nominate for BIGGEST cheese⁉️

As the European Parliament debates today taxing the ultra rich, remember: 3600 Europeans (richest 0.001%) own as much wealth as 181M people (poorer 50%). Extreme wealth fuels inequality, GHG emissions and political influence. Europe must adopt an ambitious extreme wealth tax to #TaxTheSuperRich ✊💥

There is a blossoming movement in Europe for a just economic and social system, nurtured by a vision of degrowth.
Here is a recap of the key degrowth events of the past few months 👇

PROTEST BIJ EU RAW MATERIALS WEEK
"Het is tijd dat het Westen zich bezint: niet alleen over de vraag wáár onze grondstoffen vandaan moeten komen, maar vooral over de hoeveelheid materialen die wij verbruiken."
Stel naast de middelen ook het doel in vraag!

“Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable”, zei John F. Kennedy.
Wel, we bevinden ons op een hellend vlak richting autocratie, waar het recht op (geweldloos) protest en een kritisch middenveld onder druk staan. Dat zou ons allemaal zorgen moeten baren.😦
The liberalisation & austerity of #rail transport in #Europe. 🚆
Our expectations were: terrible.
And they have been met.
They said market competition makes services more performant, and true, they're currently especially performant in:
1) inaccessibility and
2) failure
(Yes I'm on a late train)
It all comes down to this!
A ground-breaking #EU law crucial to secure dignified lives and work places called the #CSDDD was voted in right before the 2024 elections.
Now, the EU's conservative forces want to destroy it already. On 21/10, elected representatives choose to stop or continue this way

EPIC PROTESTS IN #BRUSSELS AGAINST THE RIGHT-WING GOVERNMENT
The 4 km between North and South station were too short to fit the ~150000 people who said NO to #austerity NO to #growth at all costs. YES to #solidarity #compassion and #publicservices ✊🌹 LET'S GO!
#nationalestaking #grevenationale
Massive win in #cycling, where ongoing protests for months, culminating at #LaVuelta25, caused professional cycling team "Israel Premier Tech" to drop their ties with Israel and their Israeli co-owner.
Protest works. The united people have the power ✊🇵🇸🍉
#PremierTech #FreePalestine
We joined thousands on the streets of Brussels today for the #ClimateMarch, walking with our Belgian groups to say: let’s tip the balance! ⚖️
Listen to us, not big polluters.
For climate justice and a transition that puts #PeopleOverProfits.
