Support Wallonia to stop CETA!

To the EU Trade Commissioner and EU Heads of State and Government

Petition

We support Wallonia and its prime minister Paul Magnette for
courageously standing up against CETA. We ask you to stop bullying
Wallonia and the Brussels region for their democratic decision to oppose
CETA. The EU-Canada trade deal must be completely renegotiated to
remove any special rights for corporations -- at the minimum.

Why is this important?

Last week, the Wallonian prime minister, Paul Magnette, did
what no other European leader had the courage to do, and declared his
government won’t support CETA. He stood up for democracy and
became the champion of the millions of Europeans opposing the deal.He
was later joined by the Region of Brussels, which also said "non" to
CETA.

The European Commission and the EU’s it’s big member states aren’t willing to give up,
and they are putting huge pressure on Paul Magnette and the Walloon
government to back down in time for a lavish signing ceremony planned
for in Brussels later this week with Justin Trudeau. Now only one things
stands in their way -- Paul Magnette and the brave Belgian regions.

Paul Magnette stood up for democracy over corporate power - but he might
buckle under the weight of the pressure from all sides, -- unless we can send show him a huge show of support from people right across Europe. But
we don’t have long to act, the EU and Canada are hoping to force
Wallonia to bucklesign in the next 48 hours. So we must act now.
