Frans Timmermans reflected on how, in the last legislative term, the Green Deal was a unifying initiative, enjoying political consensus. Now, he said, the far-right parties are pushing for its repeal, while the centre-right is stepping away from it.
Despite this shift, Timmermans remains optimistic, urging politicians to reignite a fresh sense of optimism, pointing to promising trends across Europe.
