🚨The EU’s will shape Europe’s future—but will it be fair?

‼️Today, the Commission published its plan for the Clean Industrial Deal. Here’s is our vision:

🔹 Social policy is the foundation of a competitive industrial policy — we need strong labour rights, quality jobs, and a just transition.
🔹 The CID must invest in people, not just industries.
🔹 No rollbacks on climate & social protections — our competitiveness depends on a fair, sustainable economy.

At SOLIDAR, we call for a Clean and Social Industrial Deal that prioritizes workers, communities & social dialogue.

👀After the European Semester Autumn Package 2025 release, we tried to find answers to the pressing question: How can macroeconomic stability, growth, fiscal sustainability and investment coexist under the new economic framework? 🎯

❗This is particularly puzzling, considering that exceptional public investment is needed to promote social justice while protecting people and the planet from climate change and not enough fiscal space is granted🍃

🧐 We sought answers in the Commission’s documents and concluded that if forced to choose, growth and macroeconomic sustainability are all that matter to the Commission (does the Draghi report ring a bell?). With the current rules, member states and EU institutions will have to choose...📈💸

📌Last week, the European Commission’s “Competitiveness Compass” was published containing the vision for overcoming the economic challenges of the next five years✍️

⛔ It is hard to get hopeful about the Commission’s ambitions to simplify, streamline, and accelerate✂️

⁉️Instead, we are left with one major question: what place do social rights, equality and sustainability have in these political aspirations?

🇪🇺In a Europe increasingly focused on competitiveness, defence, and security, civil society has a clear message:

🌱"A fair transition that neglects social and environmental justice and the well-being of the planet is no transition at all." 🌍✋
