Sending love to all of those who had the privilege and pleasure to fight alongside Maria Campuzano, to be taken under her wing, to share a joke and a smile and a drink with her. The light she brought - that was impossible not to follow - will be missed, and the world is a darker place without it.x

If Eni is so willing to undermine democracy, shouldn't the EU, the so-called defenders of democracy, do something? Eg stop it having access to EU institutions? Take away its EU Parliament lobbying badge? Stop it having access to EU subsidies? @left.eu @socialistsanddemocrats.eu @greens-efa.eu

Energy policy think tanks keep putting out proposals like "give Mark Zuckerberg sole control over our utility rates by making him America's next grid czar" and the people in Everytown, America are like "go ahead and fuckin try"

Every year, EU public authorities spend over €2 trillion on goods and services. But the system for awarding these contracts to private companies is broken. We are here to fix it. Join us at the Procurement Summit next week on 14 April in Brussels. Register: www.uni-europa.org/meetings/eur...

30 MPs have already said NO to the Thames Water creditors' outrageous deal. NO to polluting freely until 2030 NO to pollution targets being modified or paused NO to pollution for profit, at our expense Has your MP said no to the Thames Water creditors? Take 2 mins to email them now

President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, says Trumps plans to bomb civilian infrastructure are illegal... Why couldn't the BBC's Today programme do so? The closest they got was bringing an American expert who said it would legally get "very grey". Why? www.politico.eu/article/eu-w...

Disaster capitalism on steroids Spiking fertilizer prices have brought back the specter of a new world food crisis. Meanwhile the stocks of a handful of companies that control the fertilizer market are surging. Link: seekingalpha.com/article/4882...

The 🇺🇸+🇪🇺 oil&gas lobbies claim the EU needs to weaken its methane regulations or face gas supply shortages. But energy consultancy Rystad shows that to be not true. Oil&gas distorting reality to further its own commercial interests? @paulinesophieh.bsky.social thinks so. Via @politico.eu

Bombing Iran to the stone age won't open the Strait of Hormuz. If Trump doesn't know this, him and his advisors are stupid. If he follows through on his threats, there is no more leverage to force Iran to open the Strait. It's wanton destruction by the leader of the 'free' world

No one wants to talk about rationing. It’s not pretty economic policy. But the ugliest form of rationing is rationing by price explosions. That’s why it’s high time to put fair emergency rationing protocols in place for energy. Shortages are already here.

Since Badenoch became their leader, the Tory party has accepted more than a quarter of a million pounds from Alasdair Locke, chair and majority shareholder of Well Safe. In what cannot be described as a coincidence, Badenoch campaigned for more drilling this week, standing on a Well Safe oil rig.

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. 🧵 Check out our new report 👇 corporateeurope.org/en/2026/04/w...

Graph of the day: the EU's not electrifying its economy, so it's not getting off fossil fuel energy imports. Stark. www.euractiv.com/news/europes...

Amid a growing energy crisis, the European Commission is telling national governments NOT to take actions that could lower prices, like price caps, because they fear it will disrupt the single market. But the EU itself is not acting, so people suffer. www.euractiv.com/news/nationa...

@endegelaende.bsky.social is taking on the German government's massive build out of new gas-fired power plants - that's not what a just transition looks like! Head to the Rhur 28-30 May 2026 to stand up to the #gaslobby and shut down their dystopian vision.

Big news from Colombia: the government is *pulling out* of the corporate court system, Investor to State Dispute Settlement #ISDS. It's the only way to phase-out fossil fuels without the oil & gas industry suing for $$$ (ask Ecuador, Quebec, Netherlands) www.presidencia.gov.co/prensa/Pagin...

They call it #simplification. It means pollution. Commission gives a blank cheque. Big business enjoys. People die. On #WorldWaterDay, we’re facing a dangerous shift. Business lobbies want weaker water rules, faster permits, fewer checks - for profit. The @ec.europa.eu must protect water.

A little write up of the international gathering in Paris 10 days ago, organised by @attac.org. On the sidelines, we organised a meeting with French groups to talk about the EU's slashing of regulations, and how to stop it. People are getting activated! #Rules2Protect

The Chief Exec of the UK's renewable energy lobby, TaraSingh has come out in favour of oil & gas, claiming we need "realism" and that we should have a "depoliticised" debate. Music to the ears of the oil&gas industry, which has been infiltrating the RES lobby for 10+ years. x.com/RenewableUKC...

70 organisations have written to MEPs asking them to vote against the #PCIlist proposal for a new generation of hydrogen and fossil fuel pipelines. We call on the Commission to draw up an electricity-only list of projects to avoid fossil fuel lock-in. www.foodandwatereurope.org/wp-content/u...

🗓️ In Brussels Wednesday 25th? Join us in the European Parliament for the launch of @rosaluxeu.bsky.social + @communia.bsky.social's new study, “Reclaiming Steel: A Public Path for Europe’s Green Industrial Strategy”. Register👇 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

📣 270+ organisations gathered. A ballroom prepared. And the Guest of Honour? She has declined the dance. 👀 It seems @vonderleyen only has eyes for her industrial suitors. 😱 The @EU_Commission has officially refused to meet the people. #AntwerpCounterSummit A scandal, truly.

Check our new #DeregulationWatch update which focuses on the #Chemicals Omnibus which threatens to: ⚠️ weaken chemicals labelling rules ⚠️ make it easier to keep carcinogens in cosmetics ⚠️ loosen fertiliser regulations corporateeurope.org/en/deregulat...

"A green hydrogen and ammonia project in Norway has been cancelled, with its developer now pivoting towards a data centre on the same site instead." - whatever pays the (electricity) bills. #hydrogensoufflé www.hydrogeninsight.com/production/g...

We are so much better at fighting corporate capture that we are at making videos! Still, we hope you have enjoyed this series of explainers. Should we continue to do it? If so, what topics should we talk about next? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Such a pleasure to be in Paris and participate in the "European gathering of movements for struggle and social & ecological transformation" 🎊 Excellent strategising on challenges such as the rise of the far right, #austerity, growing #inequality, #deregulation and the dangerous power of #BigTech 💪

🚨 The EU’s Industrial Accelerator Act #IAA is finally out: 🚘 The result of heavy lobbying, led by the steel + car industries (Séjourné's door was always open) 🏭 Claims to promote the green transition, but really is about slashing permitting rules that protect people + nature. Expect ⬆️ pollution 💨

Thames Water is on the brink of collapse. As part of the deal they have put forward, Thames Water's creditors are asking to pollute illegally until 2040. We're in High Wycombe today to tell Environment Minister Emma Reynolds that she must reject this proposal. 1/2

JD Vance: "I think that we have to avoid overlearning the lessons of the past, Just because one president screwed up a military conflict doesn’t mean we can never engage in military conflict again." BRO TRUST US BRO. THIS TIME IS REALLY DIFFERENT BRO

Heatmap found a 26 point (!!!!!!) drop in public support for data centre development and the right-wing think-tanker they interviewed put it down to "a fear of bigness" 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠

I need you to know that we're going to all be poorer because the US bombed Iran because Israel was about to, because of a Bible promise, and I think that is utterly insane and we need to vote the people who enable this out of office for all eternity www.thetimes.com/business/com...

Corporate lobbyists in Brussels have a playbook. 4 tactics they use to shape EU laws without us noticing: 1️⃣ Repeat until it sounds like consensus 2️⃣ Throw money at it 3️⃣ Blur the lines between regulator and regulated 4️⃣ Delay, distract, greenwash The more we know it, the less we fall for it!

The top 5 lobbyists on the EU’s flagship Clean Industrial Deal are: 🏭 EUROFER - 39 meetings 🏭 ArcelorMittal - 18 ☢️ EDF - 12 🏭 European Aluminium - 11 🏭 Cement Europe - 11 Big polluting industries, particularly metals and mining, dominate. Read more 📖: corporateeurope.org/en/2026/02/c...

ExxonMobil is demanding $1bn+ from Cuba in "compensation" for its assets confiscated after the 1959 revolution. Exxon's case is backed by the Trump administration, and is another attempt to cripple the small socialist state whose very existence terrifies the US. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
