Italy’s Draghi is apparently working on the revival of the #TTIP in coordination with Germany (were FDP and BDI are all go but Scholz & Habeck still tepid).

  1. The idea is to strengthen Euro-Atlantic collaboration in an economic cold war scenario. The moves of Colao, Giorgetti’s trip to Germany. The first turning point? Intel could double its investments in Italy

    If in the end the expected announcement will arrive, as we hope, if in short Intel really decides to double its investments in Italy, going from the 4.5 billion already foreseen to the 8 billion to be defined, each of the two will claim the goodness of its method. Giancarlo Giorgetti will say that having reacted badly to that “half-heartedness” of the American hi-tech giant served to raise the stakes; Vittorio Colao , who had a big quarrel with the Minister of Development, is convinced that on the contrary it was he who used diplomacy that kept the negotiations open. Whatever it is, for Palazzo Chigi the game is bigger than this: and it concerns a new NATO, the commercial one.

  4. FFS. No! We don’t want arbitration courts that supercede our democratic processes nor do we want hormone meat, washed eggs or looser food quality standards.

    If we pick the superior standard every time and make multinationals obey governments, then sure, but we all know that’s not going to happen.

  5. Looks like the bill for help with Ukraine is coming and it will be hefty. Europe already had to give up on data privacy rules and basically allow US to do whatever it pleases in exchange for ‘we will not abuse it, honest!’ pinky promise. And now TTIP.

  6. > FDP

    Lindner’s comments about kiyv falling in a day, blocking the vaccination mandate, grants for *gas stations* because energy prices are high – did anything useful come out of them since they are part of the government?

  10. I am generally pro EU in most ways but if that thing goes through I will join some Deutschleave party so that we get our rights and better standards back which would get destroyed by TTIP

  13. We fucked up getting into too much trade with Russia and are seeing it’s consequences now. What rational person can now suggest doing the same with the next great power to an even greater extend?

  15. I fucking knew It. 20+ years of protests and these motherfuckers will turn us around on this shit in less than 3 years. I am appalled how they think they can sell us out.

    Time to stretch elbows and knees and get ready to Molotov 2000-style again, I guess. It’s never too late for a Genova Bis.

    edit: Wait a second. It’s IlFoglio… never mind then.

  16. I know many of you skeptical about TTIP but transatlantic cooperation is unavoiable now. The bridge with Russia has completely burned and relation with China will be questioned soon.

  18. Don’t get the negativity. The Biden admin offers a chance to negotiate a trade agreement that focuses more on environmental and consumer protection. This would strengthen global efforts on social and environmental action and improve bonds between liberal democracies.

  19. Lol at the people in the comments angry at neoliberalism when the EU is largely a neoliberal project lmao.
