Its a tough but important week for many of us involved in #FutureofCAP (thread)....
Normally we work away in a micro world of myopic, complicated details, up against a massive well resourced lobby with privileged access.
How much access?

Then by the Parliament (MEPs).
Every time.

While this week has been in some ways worse - a comprehensive evisceration of real, needed and new climate & biodiversity considerations from #FutureofCAP
People have engaged!
We - the citizens of Europe - have stepped up!
We& #39;ve seen the charade of spin for what it is!
