As the June vote approaches, Euronews asks voters to name a proposal they would make if elected to the European Parliament, and questions candidates on what they pledge to do if elected or re-elected.
In this episode, Euronews interviews a citizen and a candidate about the climate. Adélaïde Charlier is one of the leading figures among young Belgians in favor of the climate. If she were elected, she would form a Green Deal.”a European vision, I would include citizens, for example I would include the recommendations of the Conference on the Future of Europe“.
At 23, Lena Schilling is the head of the Austrian Green list. For her, the climate crisis remains the EU’s biggest challenge. She proposes as a first concrete measure “the climate tariff, each kilometer between Vienna and another capital, for example, should only cost 0.10 euros. This would cost 68 euros between Vienna and Berlin and would therefore be cheaper than current flights“.
