Target: European Union leaders, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Donald Trump, UK Competition and Markets Authority, and MCR Hotels
Goal: We call on policymakers and business leaders to uphold democratic values, safeguard public interests during international negotiations, and prevent unchecked privatization that threatens economic and social equity.
Recent developments reported by The Financial Times highlight critical intersections of security and economic power. European leaders, together with President Zelenskiy, are seeking security guarantees from Donald Trump, raising concerns about the transparency and accountability of such negotiations. At the same time, the impending $1.8 billion privatization of Soho House by MCR Hotels threatens to place key cultural assets in the hands of private interests, potentially undermining public access and oversight. Furthermore, Monzo's entry into the UK mobile market signals both opportunity and risk—while increased competition can benefit consumers, it also demands vigilant regulatory oversight to prevent monopolistic practices and ensure fair labor standards.
We urge all stakeholders to prioritize the public good, ensure transparency in all negotiations, and protect democratic processes from being sidelined by private or political interests.
