Center Party's Bold Climate and Social Agenda for EU

Published: 2024-05-03

In a bold move ahead of the EU elections, the Center Party in Sweden is pushing for drastic measures to combat climate change and end the EU's dependency on fossil fuels.

The party's proposal includes six actions to phase out fossil fuels in the energy sector, such as banning new fossil installations, ending fossil fuel subsidies, and doubling support for the European power grid.

This initiative is part of a broader campaign by the Center Party to maintain a strong stance against xenophobia while promoting a more open Europe in terms of immigration.

The party's commitment to environmental and social issues highlights its strategy to address both the climate crisis and the need for humanitarian responses to migration, positioning it as a progressive force in European politics.
