Say no to a Europe that bows to Trump and the oil lobby!

The hour of the predators has come.

While world leaders signed away our climate future at COP30 in Brazil, oil lobbies and multinationals went on the offensive in Europe. Ursula von der Leyen handed Donald Trump the European Union on a silver plater. On her initiative, the destruction of our social rights and climate goals has begun.

Donald Trump, Qatar, TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil, Siemens and their ilk will be the undisputed masters of Europe unless we mobilize en masse.

Industrial lobbies and the world’s largest fossil fuel producers have joined forces to bring Europe under their yoke. On November 13, they struck their first victorious blow against European democracy by shattering the only law that allowed us to force multinationals to stop exploiting children and forced laborers, stop destroying nature, and to respect the Paris Climate Agreement: the European directive on corporate due diligence (CS3D).

The European right and far right have made a secret deal to implement the multinationals’ agenda: aggressive deregulation of the rights that protect us as citizens, workers, and SMEs (small and medium enterprises). Deregulation that will restore the unjust privileges multinationals have benefited from.

The November 13 vote in the European Parliament revealed this terrible alliance, but it was met with deafening silence from the media, now mostly owned by billionaire s who rejoice at the total impunity their empires will enjoy if the demolition of corporate due diligence directive is confirmed.

What is happening in Brussels is unprecedented in its gravity. Not only are our rights under attack as never before, but they are being attacked by fascist forces that aim to destroy our democracies.

To satisfy multinational corporations, the conservative right has broken all moral boundaries by allying itself with the enemies of democracy. The right has shattered the containment barrier and shown that it is soluble in fascism. Profits first, lives and democracy second.

This dystopia is not a futuristic scenario. It is a new reality in the making, that of the “Omnibus” legislative vehicles that allow the entire democratic construction of European rules protecting the health of citizens, nature, the climate, and our economies to be erased with a pen stroke.

It is a race against time. The European institutions plan to adopt the first “Omnibus” deregulation of our standards by December 8 at the latest.

Let’s be clear: this is not just about saving European laws that constrain multinationals as nefarious as Shein, which is flooding our markets with disposable products made by Uyghur slaves. It is about rejecting the overall deregulation agenda imposed by the right and far right in the service of foreign powers and fossil fuel lobbies, lawless predators who enrich themselves from climate chaos and democratic decline, and who openly advocate for the repeal of corporate due diligence directive, as exemplified by TotalEnergies, ExxonMobil, Siemens, Qatar, and the Trump administration, in letters that have been made public.

We have no room for error. What lies ahead of us is a one-way trip, because there is no “coming back” from climate collapse, just as there is no “coming back” from the fascist shift.

The challenge is twofold: to maintain corporate due diligence directive and to refuse to allow EU states to validate the fascist shift in the European Parliament and the right-wing/far-right axis that has taken control of it.

What is happening now is truly historic. Any reference to the turning points that took place in Europe in the 1930s is appropriate.

Let us call on the member states, in particular France, Germany, and Spain, and on the parliamentary rapporteurs of “Omnibus I” to:

• Hold the line against fascists and foreign powers

• End the impunity of multinationals by restoring their civil liability in the courts

• Restore their obligation to comply with the Paris Climate Agreement by implementing “climate transition plans.”

Shadow rapporteurs for the first Omnibus, Ms Kira Marie Peter-Hansen, Mr Pascal Canfin, Mr Arash Saeidi, Mr René Repasi,

We urge you to firmly reject the major regressions voted for by an unprecedented, historic and dangerous alliance of the conservative right and the far right in the European Parliament on 13 November on the European Commission's legislative proposal ‘Omnibus I’. The parties or states you represent cannot validate an agreement forged with the European far right that demolishes corporate due diligence directive, restores impunity for multinationals and opens the gates of climate hell to European citizens. Giving in to the demands of the oil lobbies and the first fascist president in American history, Donald Trump, who recognises himself as such, is a guarantee of the destruction of European stability and the decline of our economies. In the game of environmental undercutting and social dumping, our SMEs will always lose out to lawless multinationals such as Shein.

We ask you to reject the very principle of Omnibus laws, which are demolishing, at a blistering pace, European law democratically refined over many years.

We ask you to oppose the influence of the hydrocarbon lobbies and rogue companies on our elected representatives and our democracies, to protect the climate, nature, human dignity, the rights of EU citizens and workers around the world, and to restore, as a matter of priority in the trilogue that is due to end on 8 December:

A mandatory and harmonised civil liability regime for large companies throughout the EU, as set out in Article 29 of the Due Diligence Directive.
Climate transition plans (Article 22) that oblige companies to comply with the Paris Climate Agreement.

If the European Union gives in to the irresponsible dictat of the industrial and oil and gas lobbies, it will be responsible for triggering a ‘globocide’, i.e. the destruction of millions of human lives and the entire biosphere.

Never before has a political office carried such responsibility. You have no room for error.
