For over three years, European institutions have worked hard to develop and negotiate a groundbreaking EU supply chain law, with the aim of preventing and addressing human rights and environmental harm throughout companies’ supply chains. In mid-December, many celebrated the hard-reached agreement between the EU Council and Parliament on a draft law, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.

But now, just before getting the law across the finish line, it risks being tripped up by a German government coalition partner, the FDP (Freie Demokratische Partei, or Free Democratic Party).

That cycle is real indeed. Though I am not quite sure if it’s stupid first time voters or just naive people thinking that they are meant when they mention the economy doing good with them. In either case, I have seen that cycle in action too and I also don’t get why a party for the top 1% gets more than 5% of votes.

They are specifically targeting young people in their campaigns. Anyone who is old enough to have lived through one such cycle needs to be incredibly naive in order to fall for them again.
