During the farmers’ protest in Strasbourg, ahead of the European Parliament’s vote on the Mercosur trade deal, police used tear gas against demonstrators seeking an appeal to block the agreement.
Officers reportedly were forced to throw stun grenades at the protesters as they tried to enter the parliament building.
“Farmers are trying to get into the European Parliament. The police used tear gas,” wrote MEP Maciej Wąsik of the Law and Justice party (PiS) on social media.

Remix News reported yesterday that around 4,000 farmers from across the European Union, including Italy, Belgium, and Germany, were expected to descend on Strasbourg, with French farmers forming the majority.

Actual numbers were cited as high as 4,500, with the protesters are demanding that the Mercosur trade agreement signed by Ursula von der Leyen be blocked.
“Even if some countries support Mercosur, within those countries there are MEPs who have serious doubts, and it could come down to just a few votes, so we need to keep up the pressure,” said Hervé Lapie, secretary general of the National Federation of Farmers’ Unions (FNSEA).
The European Parliament is scheduled to vote on a possible appeal to the European Court of Justice, but this seems unlikely. The parliament’s main political group, the EPP (which includes the Civic Coalition and the Polish People’s Party), has announced that it will not support such a motion, paving the way for an easy ratification vote today.

The Mercosur agreement is intended to boost EU exports of cars, machinery, wines and spirits to Latin America, while facilitating imports into Europe of South American beef, sugar, rice, honey and soybeans. Farmers’ organizations, however, warn that the deal will destabilize European agriculture by exposing it to cheaper imports that do not necessarily comply with EU production standards, citing what they describe as insufficient controls.
The Mercosur deal has also revealed that the EU’s concerns about climate change are flimsy at best. The deal will see cheap and dangerous agricultural goods pour into Europe from halfway across the world. The EU’s “farm-to-table” programs also appear to have been blown up by the new deal. Of course, there is nothing about “eat local” when food is being shipped from the other side of the world.
Brazil alone allows the use of as many as 3,669 pesticides and has cleared away millions of acres of rainforest to create monoculture mega farms. The destruction of the rain forest will only accelerate with this new deal.
One Brazilian state, Mato Grosso, eatures the most “agrotoxicity” in the world. Soon, Europeans will be eating this food.
“This Brazilian state is the kingdom of the agricultural industry. Cotton, rice, sugarcane, corn, massive production of transgenic soybeans, and record pesticide use. Mato Grosso wins every global competition in the field of agrotoxicity. That’s the term used by those who condemn the chemical empire. Brazil allows the use of 3,669 pesticides. It’s a veritable El Dorado for corporations, primarily European ones. Products banned on the Old Continent are sold here,” rmx.news/article/nightmare-ahe…

"Diese Debatte [über den Missbrauch von Krankschreibungen] wird fast ausschließlich von Menschen geführt, die nie Teil der tatsächlichen Produktionskette waren. Von Leuten, deren Körper nie verschlissen wurden, deren Erschöpfung sich in Terminkalendern und nicht in Bandscheiben eingeschrieben hat. Genau diese Menschen erklären jetzt anderen, wie viel Krankheit noch zumutbar sei. Das ist keine Sorge um Produktivität. Das ist Klassenpolitik."

LA REPRESSIONE "OLISTICA" di NOEMI DI SEGNI (Presidente dell'Unione delle comunità ebraiche italiane) (Sic.). « L’"olismo” è una rete a strascico. Se il fenomeno viene dichiarato totale, totale diventa la risposta. ...anche criticare un genocidio in corso, può essere riscritto come odio fino a portare ciò che si contesta come minaccia.» di Lavinia Marchetti
LA REPRESSIONE "OLISTICA" di NOEMI DI SEGNI (Presidente dell'Unione delle comunità ebraiche italiane) (Sic.).
di Lavinia Marchetti
Il problema non è cosa pensi Noemi Di Segni, ma ciò che rappresenta quando va a parlare nelle nostre istituzioni (dato che quelle istituzioni poi, ahinoi, legiferano su di noi...): il sionismo.
In Commissione Affari costituzionali, l’urgenza e l'indifferibilità vengono presentate prima come leva politica e poi buttate in faccia a tutti come cornice morale per legiferare contro le manifestazioni a favore della Palestina. Io, al momento, in Italia, non ho visto nessuna notte dei cristalli, anzi... Ma Di Segni lo dice con una verve da emergenza umanitaria, e mi piacerebbe usasse tale verve per Gaza, ma tant'è... : «Riteniamo indifferibile e urgente l’esame di misure, anche legislative, che possano essere responsabilmente intraprese a livello parlamentare, in integrazione con le politiche attive già previste in ambiti quali cultura, formazione, educazione, accademia e sport, molte delle quali definite nella Strategia nazionale coordinata da Pasquale Angelosanto».
È legittimo cercare tutela contro l’odio antiebraico. Il problema vero è un altro: l’oggetto reale di quella domanda e dove è stata presentata. Quando si entra in un luogo che produce norme e leggi se ne vuole uscire con nuove definizioni e nuovi strumenti giudiziari. L’urgenza, in politica, raramente resta un sentimento. Diventa un metodo e porta sempre repressione. La logica dell'eccezione diventa un criterio di priorità che scavalca, riduce, semplifica, e poi si deposita nella legge come una scelta irreversibile.
La seconda frase è quella che, più di tutte, merita di essere affissa e decostruita, perché qui il linguaggio, invece di distinguere, impasta. Invece di separare piani, li chiude in un unico blocco fintamente emotivo e operativo: «Visto che l’antisemitismo si presenta in molteplici forme – neofascismo nostalgico, letture distorte dei testi religiosi ebraici, minaccia fisica del terrorismo islamico, demonizzazione cosmopolita degli ebrei e di Israele, nazificazione e strumentalizzazione della Shoah – l’impegno sull’antisemitismo non può essere selettivo e focalizzare un solo aspetto ma bensì essere olistico».
L’“olismo” è una rete a strascico. Se il fenomeno viene dichiarato totale, totale diventa la risposta. Se tutto si tiene, allora tutto può essere preso dentro. E quando, nella stessa sede, si discute del rapporto tra libertà costituzionali e “abuso” delle stesse, l’equazione è pronta: ciò che disturba può essere trattato come abuso e quindi ogni critica, anche criticare un genocidio in corso, può essere riscritto come odio fino a portare ciò che si contesta come minaccia.
Il sionismo, quando parla nelle istituzioni, parla come un dispositivo che punta a blindare una zona morale intoccabile, un’area immunizzata dal conflitto politico. È una richiesta di eccezione permanente nel linguaggio, nel perimetro della critica. Sappiamo tutti a cosa puntano: CRIMINALIZZARE IL DISSENSO per far scendere l'agognato silenzio su Gaza e Cisgiordania e completare genocidio e occupazione.
Ecco perché il tema non è la psicologia di Di Segni, ma la sua funzione dentro le nostre istituzioni. Una volta ottenuto un lessico istituzionale (Gasparri; Delrio) capace di confondere la critica con l’odio, resta un ultimo passaggio, il più importante per i sionisti, ovvero far entrare quel lessico nella norma, nelle leggi, nelle nostre scuole e soprattutto nello spazio pubblico. A quel punto la promessa “olistica” si rivela per ciò che è: una repressione totale che garantisca immunità legale e morale a un genocidio e a una ideologia (il sionismo) protofascista e messianica.

Draped in the darkness of loneliness, the world descends into chaos like a serpent rising to strike, the void of humanity has been flooded with greed and ignorance, as the fires rage and waters rise, the trees in the forest all die the meadows torn into battle lines, as the piano keys strike their hammers the vibrations across the strings, like a child weeping bring an utter sting to reality, for the bass of the cello and drums usher in the disdain for yet another miserable day, for the world has ignored the sounding horns and with a flash of lighting the cymbals crash to say for eternal pain is here to stay, the desperation of the violin screeches out the desperation of those who are forced to exist without, in the distance the flutes of plenty fade away;

If there is ever a time that Nazis are agreeing with you, you're on the wrong side of an argument. It might be that there needs to be a 3rd or 4th side, but you never ever "gotta hand it to" Nazis unless it's a closed fist to the face.
Brought to you by hearing that even some white supremacy fuckheads are uncomfortable with the level of government oppression in Minnesota, because they don't want that shit turned on their militias and whatever because they have some white Hispanics in their ranks.
@CordiallyChloe Also, they're not a monolith. The only thing they agree on is people not white are bad. But some prioritize hating Jewish people. Others Black people. Others Immigrants. Etc. Oftentimes they hate one another almost as much as they hate minorities. They've largely unified behind Trump, but as his popularity has weakened, even that support has become less ironclad. Especially with his support of Israel.
