German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and French President Emmanuel Macron had called for the CSDDD to be scrapped altogether

Why has the EU been so shit recently?
The capitalist class will ceaselessly and tirelessly work to roll back measures that benefit the working class.

Congratulations,
<megaCorpName>! You have completed theRegulatory Captureresearch tree, and have unlockedState Capture!Because the EU has always been an austerity driving neoliberal organization dedicated to corporate profits.

This is also why “suddenly” every other country on earth is going to require online ID verifidation in the coming years.
My guess is because America has been moving to the right and shifting the overton windown for the whole “west” right with it.
don’t you guys remember the very unfavorable “deal” the eu struck with the us? or how that eu leader was licking trumps balls?
thats probably just the tip of the iceberg.
