This is a good time to encourage the @EU_Commission and members to do the right thing - address the #debt crisis (yes, a debt crisis), and ensure countries most indebted have a say in how to solve it by setting a new course beyond the status quo at the #FFD4 this June.
Public finance can help achieve the #GlobalGoals, eradicate hunger & poverty, and fight for #GenderEquality & the #climate.
