Volker Schnurrbusch, member of the Committee on Transport and Tourism and MEP for the ESN Group, stated:
“Once again, we have succeeded at EU level in stopping an excessive tightening of climate targets. The AfD remains a strong voice for Germany’s economy and for delivering tangible relief to citizens.”
His group colleague and substitute member of the Transport Committee, Arno Bausemer, added:
“The three votes of our ESN Group tipped the balance. We stand firmly with our industry and the working population. The ideologically blinkered policy of the so-called Green Deal—and its architect, Ursula von der Leyen—has failed. We will prevent this project from causing further damage!”
