French minister has spoken out after Donald Trump’s administration ordered some French companies with U.S. government contracts to comply with orders banning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.
French Minister for Gender Equality Aurore Bergé indicated in an interview that companies will refuse to follow Trump’s request.
Mhm, while I do think this is complete nonsense, it isn’t like Europe is miles ahead. Unfortunately there is I trend towards anti-inclusion generally speaking. I‘m not pointing my fingers ( Orban) to anyone.

Europe should use the “reverse uno card” demanding USA companies to comply to DEI if they wanted to continue to operate in Europe.

It’s not even about diversity.
It’s about Trump should go fuck himself and mind his own business.

It would be good to know which companies comply…

I agree that no diversity is needed regarding general opinion on Trump; everyone hates this orange twat and his spineless minions.

The best part: Realistically no MAGA member would be hired based on merit. In particular Donald Trump.

To follow trumps edit would mean these companies would breach EU and ECHR laws

Recently my company’s Spanish location organized a “women in xxx business” gathering.
Some invitees declined, citing that they would be banned from being a supplier to the US embassy if they attended.
Fuck you, USA. You voted for this fascist. You shall face the consequences.

Quote: Denmark’s Industry Minister Morten Bodskov told AFP that “a response must naturally be discussed with our European colleagues.”
No, short version: fuck off
No, long version: Trump wants European companies to drop DEI? Then U.S. companies doing business in Europe should *embrace* it.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion aren’t political, they’re essential. In Europe, DEI isn’t a trend, it’s a standard. If American companies want to work here, they should reflect the values of the market they serve.
No DEI? No deal.

Meanwhile, Swedish tech company Ericsson just bends over and remove everything about diversity in writing. :/
Time for Denmark to settle its fisheries dispute with Greenland and welcome it back into the EU.

Can I just say what a shit article this is?
All it says is “The Danish minister thinks we should talk about this in the EU and the Dutch minister says that they haven’t heard of any affected companies”

Pfft, asking Europe to stop being diverse… ah yes, because we all know a Slovak, a Norwegian, a Greek, a Frenchman, a Ukrainian, and an Estonian, are all “””exactly the same”””… oh right, because its about preventing too much tan in a room to these MAGA freaks.
Fuck off with this yankoid bullshit, of pretending difrence is a crime. Europe is stronger because we arent all the same.
Giving more types of people, a seat at the table, means a better view of the whole.
Its that simple.

I’m European, and I also think DEI is a toxic program… lgbtq people are extremist and bullies . trump did well on this one.

Cool. We’ll take all of your high-performance DEI hires then, please.
Europe should make make an initiative to hire these people. I am absolutely confident they are wasting fantastically talented people based on their own racist bullshit.
I’ve been on the hiring side of things when I lived in Toronto in tech. I personally have hired amazing POC/LGBT and checked the DEI box. We had the initiative to hire them, yes. But they were already amazing, and it gave them the opportunity they deserved.
I now fear for all of the people who were given this opportunity through the same means. They have a target on their backs and that’s complete bullshit.

Technically, there’s already an EU law saying that goods can not be imported if they were made using slave labour. We should probably start enforcing that a bit more since the US uses prison labour so their companies should have to prove none of their products come from that labour source.

I agree that DEI was a terrible idea and needs to be reversed, but I agree that Trump has no business demanding European countries to comply with his views, this choice should be up to us

You know all this shit is backfiring. Trump/Musk is shutting down DOGE. They SEE the consequences. Tesla stock tanks. Wisconsin judge re-elected despite Musk’s criminal interference. They are truly revealing themselves INEPT. Like they can dictate to sovereign nations about policy?

Not so long ago there was an open letter to Linux foundation called “please unfuck our codes of conduct”, that happened after activist group finally managed to push forward a movement that updates to Linux kernel shout not only valued by their content, but also by person who’re submitting it, that is so that there would be more patches submitted by female or people of color. In a medium where your sex, color, body type and whom you are attracted to doesn’t matter a one bit that was pushed for, not a quality of our work, no, what’s between your legs and what color it is.
Europe absolutely has no need for that, there are programs to help people advance, like L’Oreal grants for young woman in science, but hiring process based not on merit is nothing more than discrimination.

Guys, the european version of DEI is mostly about women..so gender equality in the work place…and this is not about putting a random woman…but a professionist who wouldn’t be considered otherwise just because woman.

People here overestimate the willingness of private firms to stand for ideals when its their valuable money at the stakes.. Trump is the endgame of capitalism. If you expect other capitalists to oppose him you will be very disappointed.
