Our reaction to the COP30 outcomes. The agreement edges the world slightly forward but it’s not nearly enough. When COP happens next year in Turkey, Ireland will play a key role with EU Council Presidency and actions must speak louder than words. www.friendsoftheearth.ie/news/friends...

#COP30 talks in #Bélem, #Brazil, failed on all counts. The #COP mechanism for global #climate governance is well and truly broken.

“The ‘ #Danishmodel’ is the darling of centre-left parties like #Labour.

Sometimes the irony hurts. A literal fire broke out at the #COP30 #climate talks in #Bélem, #Brazil. People warned each other & quickly evacuated. Firefighters arrived promptly & put out the blaze. The exact opposite of how the world has addressed the #ClimateCrisis www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

🌍 An international meeting took place in Belém, before COP30, calling for a radical transformation of the global financial system to meet the climate challenge. It brought together people from 11 countries. We participated as well! 🔗Read our full article: www.european-left.org/powerful-bel...

As anticipated, Green Left (Socialist People's Party, F) candidate #SisseMarieWelling has been made Lord Mayor of #Copenhagen, ending 100 years of Social Democrat rule. Despite radical left #Enhedslisten receiving the most votes (again), right-wing parties pointed to #Welling for the role. #KV25

Disastrous local election for #Denmark's Social Democrats nationwide, while the centre-right lost ground to the hard & #farright. #kv25

The Social Democrats (A) have conceded defeat, but not the “red majority” to their left many expected in #Copenhagen, complicating negotiations & playing the Social Liberals (B) into the mix: potentially benefiting Green Left (F) over #Enhedslisten (Ø), who will be disappointed with the result #kv25

Today the European Parliament approved its Omnibus I mandate, weakening #CSDDD. By siding with far-right forces and corporate lobbies, MEPs signal that EU values and the rights of women and communities in the global South are negotiable when they collide with short-term corporate profit.

Too right @leanahosea.bsky.social We are in very worrying territory right now

Today, Ursula #vonderLeyen & the EPP established a new operational majority for the EU, as her " #Omnibus" bill for #deregulation passed with #farright support, sidelining even the centrist parties. The EU is now in the grips of a corporate race to the bottom overseen by right-wing extremists #CSDDD

Today's 🇪🇺Parliament vote has transformed the government of the EU. 🇪🇺President Von der Leyen's party has abandoned the centrist governing majority. We now have a new coalition driving EU policy. A huge victory for Meloni, Le Pen, Wilders & Orban As @alemanno.bsky.social put it today:
