Green parties' surprisingly strong showing in European Parliament elections raised hopes that environmental issues will get more serious consideration on the continent.
Green parties' surprisingly strong showing in elections for the 751-seat European Parliament raised hopes — particularly among young voters — that global warming and other environmental issues will get more serious consideration on the continent.
Kretzschmar welcomed the lift the Greens received in Sunday's vote, saying it would give them a stronger voice to raise the alarm about global warming.Among other things, the Green movement has strongly backed scientists' calls for the 28-nation bloc to end all greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century, a goal that would require an epic shift in Europe's economy away from fossil fuels.
Armin Laschet, the governor of North Rhine-Westphalia state and a member of Merkel's party, called the outcome"a wake-up call for politics." Manuel Rivera, a Green party member in the German capital, said the European Parliament is the right place to tackle climate change:"I think people realize that there are issues you can't solve at the national level."
"The Greens will destroy this country, and our job must and will be to fight the Greens," said Gauland, whose party has claimed that climate change isn't a man-made phenomenon and that efforts to tackle it will harm Germany's economy.
