What lies behind the reform of the European Union's fiscal framework? Spain closed the EU presidency with an agreement of the Council of Economic and Finance Ministers: the reform of EU fiscal rules. This agreement could again entail cuts, although investments in the green and digital transition and in security and defence policies could be favoured. Is this the European Union we want? To address the implications of the reform of the EU fiscal framework in the context of the approaching elections, we will meet in the fourth session of the ODG debates with our colleague Nicola Scherer and Pere Ortega (Centre Delàs). Monday 5th february at 18h in La Fede

Against false green solutions, decolonial and ecofeminist pacts for global justice. We invite you to consider the real changes needed if we want to tackle big challenges such as severe drought, macro-projects, the care crisis... without forgetting its global dimension. We will listen to the members of the Ecosocial and Intercultural Pact of the South, as well as other allies from Europe and North Africa, to denounce together the injustices of the green capitalist transition, and to sketch together the alternative futures that we imagine.

La energía pasa de ser esa forma de sustento vital que permite mantener y sostener las vidas, a ser un vector que permite el control, la profundización del dominio y el extractivismo. Es la fórmula que viene a permitir que todo lo vivo se convierta en mercancía: desde el territorio hasta la vida de las personas. En este segundo encuentro dialogaremos con Esperanza Martínez, Fray Rodrigo Péret y Alfons Pérez, sobre la arquitectura demencial – criminal de esta fórmula. Abordaremos la cuestión de la Geopolítica de la transición hegemónica: socios y minerales necesarios en el plan global de apropiación de bienes comunes para garantizar la ‘seguridad energética’ y los modos de vida imperiales. Organizado por Asociación Bienaventurados los pobres y CCFD Terre Solidaire. Sesión online, requiere inscripción previa.
