What is it with supposed centrists that they always want to work with the far-right? Every single time it erodes their own power, but they keep doing it...
Is this how we prevent extremism? By just joining forces with them?
Oh boy, sounds like Ursula’s got her hands full! It's like when you try to organize a family barbecue and half the folks want burgers while the other half demand veggie skewers.
She is right.
The planet needs such legislation, but Europe's contribution is minor, and major global polluters have withdrawn. Attempting to save the planet alone is pointless as the benefits for the climate would be negligible and the consequences disastrous for people and economies in Europe.
The European Parliament should be able to propose legislation. This situation where the only directly elected European body has to beg the Commission for legislation for they to vote on is absolutely ridiculous.

She will have made provision for it.
It's better than assassination.
