They need more than 35% to block it and so far France and Poland don't have the numbers.
Italy will be the decisive one and mommy Meloni is leaning in favor of the deal.

I'm not sure who hates America more - South America or The East.
If the EU can get the majority of South America on their side they'll certainly gain a lot of STDs.

Someone might want to correct me, but this does not seem to fit in the environmental image the EU has been crafting.
Hauling goods from the other side of the planet is fuel intensive, not to mention this may incentivize SA monkeys to continue or even increase deforestation efforts to produce more goods for Eurotards.
What I heard about this thing seems antithetical to the greentardation that EU is always lobbying.

No it isn't. It's so efficient that it's worth doing for even marginal savings elsewhere, whether those savings are measured in money or carbon.

https://www.adamsmith.org/blog/how-sweatshops-help-the-poor?format=amp
Sweatshops are a phase, they're not ideal but they're pretty much the first stage of development, peasants leave their farms in search of better opportunities, while most end up in slums at least they make a wage which is not dependable on weather, the benefit of city life is education, their kids can attend public schools with much better infrastructure than those in the countryside. The US and Europe had sweatshops up to the early 20th century. More urban workers meant unions were formed and so they got better wages and a fewer working hours, this process while not present in the Philippines yet, has already become a thing in LATAM since the end of our dictatorships, nowadays Brazilian industries are all unionized and sweatshops don't exist anymore, working on a factory in Brazil means you have a formal job with "carteira de trabalho" and benefits like 30 days vacations like everyone else in the formal economy. Being part of the sweatshop generation sucks, but their children and grandchildren can actually reap the benefits which their parents could never afford.
It's a very long process but eventually because factories mean money flowing you have a middle class arising, and so new jobs in construction and services, more taxes and more income for government (corruption is a political problem which citizens must fight so their money is actually used in the right way)

South America uses mostly carbon free energy (hydropower and now solar/wind) emissions are fraction of the EU and there are barely any coal/gas plants.

The only country deforestating to make room for cattle is Brazil (and we're talking about illegal stuff, EU-cels will get it from high quality frigoríficos) and still most of the meat and agriculture doesn't come from the Amazon, it comes from the South, Southeast and Centre-West.
Always has been, Bolsonaro was right when he said that European greenwashing was just a protectionist mesure, not actual care about the environment or reducing carbon emissions.

Well, it's also strategically used against member states like Poorland (since our energy is 125% coal).

Can Poland transition
to renewables on a reasonable timeline or does the EU imposes unrealistic goals?
Solar doesn't seem very reliable there for parts of the year.

Our overnment is impotent, so having them do anything is unrealistic.
The most numerable renewables implemented here are wind turbines imported from western Europe. Wind energy sucks, and getting the turbines from abroad certainly does not help in economic viability.
We were supposed to have a nuclear power plant, but... well, here is what Wikipedia has to say about it:

Yeah, it originally started in the 80's but there was less of an incentive back then than there is now, and also Czarnobyl happened. The 2011 plans are more meaningful for what we have today.

Coal miners are very strong political force and limit any development of alternatives, even as more and more coal we burn is actually imported from China/Russia/Donbass. (Polish coal is pretty deep and so not the most economical)
Gas isn't viable as alternative since it'd have to be bought from Russia in real numbers. Liquid gas is more expensive and we also don't have a lot of ports to develop infrastructure in (also seriously hampered by EU environmental regulations). Poland's one LNG port is 20% of current demand.
Atom would be the best alternative but has been ignored by government after government which only played lip service to building power plants.
Renewables recieve significant subsidies because of EU / fashion, but can't be anything but a %. We aren't super windy country like Ireland, or particularly sunny like California.
What Poland does in practice to get around EU limits somewhat is use a lot of "biofuel" which is actually 49% coal and rest actual biofuel ie agricultural rejects.

Poor South Americans won't migrate to Europe, they can't afford plane tickets that far. The ones who already migrate to Spain have more savings (those who are illegal) or just enter legally.
Only Bolivia produces it legally and it's not like Amsterdam port doesn't receive tons of cocaine and other drugs already.
