EU's Green Deal at risk from far-right gains
The Guardian — April 23, 2024, 04:00 PM UTC
Summary: The EU's Green Deal, crucial for biodiversity, climate change, and environmental laws, faces a high risk of being dismantled by far-right gains in upcoming elections. MEP Philippe Lamberts warns of watering down laws and scrapping plans. Despite Ursula von der Leyen's commitment, criticism is aimed at French President Macron for adopting far-right policies. The Nature Restoration Law is in jeopardy due to Hungary's opposition. Lamberts supports von der Leyen for a second term.
