Well with the #Antwerp & #AldenBiesen meetings this week, it's been a pretty depressing picture coming out of 🇪🇺.

But activists are fighting back on all sorts of issues; we are going to comment on / re-post various items for some cheer and to share some opportunities to take action and get involved.

Commission President von der Leyen & EU government leaders meet today for a 'competitiveness' retreat in #AldenBiesen 🇧🇪

VDL, since her reappointment in 2024, has unleashed an aggressive #deregulation agenda

Worryingly, she is now getting absolute backing from #Merz, #Meloni, #DeWever & others
Political cartoon showing a large chainsaw labeled “DEREGULATION” cutting into a tree. The tree’s canopy is labeled with words including “ENVIRONMENT,” “HEALTH STANDARDS,” “DIGITAL RIGHTS,” and “etc.” A figure labeled “Ursula von der Leyen” is pushing the chainsaw into the tree, which looks distressed and is cracking. On the left, a large figure resembling Donald Trump applauds, with “clap clap clap” written beside him. In the center, a smaller figure labeled “Milei,” wearing a suit and wild hair, raises both fists in celebration. The scene suggests deregulation aggressively damaging public protections while some political figures cheer. Cartoon by Khalil Bendib.
