Ola Källenius, chief executive of Mercedes-Benz, which has plants in the US, said on Monday that he was not concerned about broader impact from the arrests: "You have to respect rules and regulations. We do that and we will continue to invest [in the US]."

This is visible also in the most recent developments, with the renewed obsession with competitiveness that is leading to a new wave of deregulation, and the increase in EU-backed military spending (2)

With @gemmagasseau.bsky.social we have a new short piece in Capital & Class, where we analyse continuties and changes in European economic governance. We argue that, despite the changes since the pandemic, EU integration remains centered on neoliberalism (1)
