The EU's so-called "28th Regime" is an attack on labour standards. It would allow "innovating companies" (read: transnationals) to undercut domestic labour, tax + corporate laws by using the EU's laws rather than local laws.

EU lobbycracy is taking shape 1️⃣ Industries demand more money and less regulation in the name of competitiveness. 2️⃣ Conservatives and the far right push to defund NGOs that monitor industry behaviour. The result? Policies that prioritise capital accumulation over public health and the environment.
