WHAT FIGHTS ARE GOING ON in the corridors of Brussels with the infiltrated lobbyists of multinational companies?
HOW DID THE TOBACCO CONSPIRACY TRY TO UNDERMINE THE EU'S HEALTH DIRECTIVE?
How do agrochemical companies interested in CHEMICALIZING AGRICULTURE AND EXPLOITING NATURE TO THE ULTIMATE get close to the highest decision-making levels?

JOSÉ BOVÉ PRESENTS FIRST-HAND and exposes the power mechanisms that put all of our lives at risk, in order to confront us with the task for which we are all responsible as European citizens.

As one of the prefaces puts it: "This book is an excellent remedy for the fatalism of all those who feel that they are beginning to become permanently disillusioned with politics." By elevating the requirement of democracy to the position of the essence of political practice, it rehabilitates the idea of ​​the existence of a public good that needs protection against corrupt and/or corruptible value-deniers."

José Bové also raises his voice in the European Parliament for the sake of small communities, and he remained the embodiment of serenity even in the midst of his battles with the powers exploiting the globe's resources.

In 2009, José Bové found himself as an agro-activist, the protagonist of the famous McDonald's destruction in 1999, a superstar of the fight against the irrationality of global capital and "big business" in the Greens faction of the European Union Parliament. He is a freedom fighter who insists to the end on the progressive to the ideal of Europe, and whose voice stands out far from the chorus of statist-nationalist demagoguery that is in vogue at the moment. Thus, there is hardly a more credible source for the suggestion that it is time to finally list and present to the public the interest and lobby groups circling like vultures around the European institutional system. These in the shadows , they carry out their work without the faintest suspicion of the majority of those involved. While - partly precisely because of this - political nihilism is spreading throughout Europe, which is nothing more than "the acceptance of our helplessness against the pressure of economic interests".
