Viktor Orbán heeft een geheim netwerk van inlichtingenofficieren ingezet om de EU-instellingen te bespioneren.

De spionnen zijn al jaren actief in Brussel, onder de dekmantel van diplomaat.

ℹ️ MEPs in JURI will vote Monday 13 Oct (16:30 CET) on the “Option 2” #CSDDD compromise.

After tense talks, centrists back a text raising scope to 5,000+ staff & €1.5bn turnover, keeping risk-based due diligence & climate plans, but no new civil liability powers.!

Democide in our times

Austerity, wage & public service cuts kill, but are govt policy.

Millions can't get good food, housing, education, healthcare, pension.

Men in poorer UK areas live 9.7 yrs less than those in least deprived areas. Women 8 years.

Govts silent on the human cost of fiscal rules

The government must ensure fair distribution of income

'The average real wage of workers has hardly moved from the 2008 level whilst bosses never had it so good.'
