In tomorrow’s vote of the European Parliament on the Nature Restoration Regulation, the president of the Parliamentary Group of SYRIZA-PS, Sokratis Famellos noting that “it will prove which political forces, in Europe and in Greece, are on the right side of History”.

He explains that “this is a particularly critical piece of legislation in the battle for the climate and the environment and survival, which will also mark the future of the next generations” and adds: “Until now, the leadership of the European People’s Party has opposed this particular piece of legislation , ignoring documented scientific opinions, the positions of many economic and productive entities and civil society”.

He then criticizes the ND government, arguing that it “has casually incorporated the proposed European environmental and climate goals and is using the environment as a flag of opportunity without proceeding with the necessary reforms in the economy and administration. As a result, nature conservation areas are left without institutional shielding and the transition to climate neutrality remains meteoric and in question.”

In closing, he states that “it remains to be seen the result of tomorrow’s vote, but also the stance that the Greek MEPs will take. We hope that each and every one of them will prove that they are with progress, sustainability and sustainability.”
