The EU Commission's #Omnibus proposal covering 3 recently approved corporate sustainability laws goes FAR beyond for 'simplification'- it's full-scale #deregulation! The shocking proposal was developed in a deeply undemocratic fast-track process #NoToOmnibus www.corporateeurope.org/en/2025/02/d...

Loud and clear: this #Omnibus proposal by the Commission is a free pass for corporations to operate without consequences. The Commission is sending a clear message: time to turn a blind eye to forced labour, land grabs & environmental devastation.

Today the @ec.europa.eu officially unveiled its proposal to amend the CSDDD. Reopening this major legislation without evidence, transparency, or public consultation undermines EU democratic principles and undermines trust. (1/2)

Dismantling the #CS3D and #CSRD will not relaunch EU's competitiveness. That's fake and misleading. It would only severely undermine efforts to protect workers' rights and address environmental destruction! And the most vulnerable ones would be once again those paying the price.

This is an INCREDIBLY serious story for Washington, DC. There is one prosecutor for DC: the federal/DOJ US Attorney for DC. That's a Trump-appointed position now. The Trump appointee is corrupt, venal, MAGA. Here the DC police wanted to prosecute a crime, and the Trump USAO SAID NO. 1/
