EU Climate Chief Doubles Down on Unpopular Green Policies
15th March 2024
A growing unease is setting in among Brussels’ Eurocrats as a rightist wave is predicted to sweep Europe’s upcoming parliamentary elections in June.
This has however failed to deter some from doubling down on the massively unpopular ‘net zero’ policies that are partly responsible for putting EU elites in their precarious positions in the first place.
In an interview on Tuesday, the EU Commission’s climate chief, Wopke Hoekstra, told Politico that whatever the outcome of these elections, afterward, Brussels must “focus just as much and probably more” on climate action.
His remarks came on the heels of Monday’s first-ever report from the European Environment Agency (EEA), which predicts a climate apocalypse should EU governments slack off in their efforts.
