Why we reject the new fiscal rules

Philippe Lamberts
Opinion by Philippe Lamberts
Conservatives and socialists want to make our economies more “stable” by cutting down on the very pillars that hold our societies together. They are wrong. The age of austerity and restrictive economic policies belong to the past. There will be no sustainable debt in an unsustainable world.

Green MEPs demand fair income for farmers

Outdated policies, pushed by those who like to blame the Greens for their own failures are responsible for the crisis farmers are facing. Let’s give farmers workable solutions, so they can make a decent living, work in good conditions and help protect nature.

Philippe Lamberts: Don't blame us for the broken food system

Farmers are being crushed by a broken system that doesn't leave them any freedom or opportunity to make a fair income from their hard work. Meanwhile, those who work to keep this broken system alive pretend to care about farmers.
