If you are interested to know more about how EU industrial policy is being financed, in this SOMO long read, I am outlining key features of InvestEU, its redistributive effects and how it empowers financial capital - at the expense of democratic oversight and the urgently needed green transition.
SOMO - Centre for Research on Multinational Corporations @somoamsterdam.bsky.social · 12mo agoBehind the grim reality of EU’s green transition → InvestEU ← InvestEU uses public money and debt to guarantee profits for investors, claiming to unlock billions for the green transition. But it is an illusion of climate action. Read our full analysis ➡️ www.somo.nl/behind-investeus-trojan-logic/
For my German-speaking friends and colleagues. There is a lot more forthcoming on this topic - in Dutch and English. Stay tuned ;-)

For narrow minds, everything is either-or. They cannot comprehend complexity or think beyond their rigid ideological boundaries. Obviously, "Europe" can have both. But, yes, probably not while also continuing to give Big Business and billionaires massive tax breaks and state subsidies.
Come join Angela Wigger, Daniela Gabor, Etienne Schneider (all of whom I couldn't find on here yet?) and myself in Brussels (or online, ep.interactio.eu/2avd-ir39-466f) this Thursday, 9-11am CET. We'll discuss the EU's industrial policy agenda. Lots of stuff to chew on!
