Chairman Maria Ohisalo also pointed out that the Greens will not be in a government where climate action is being put on hold. He emphasized that this is a threshold issue for the party.
The greens Chairman, Minister of the Environment and Climate Maria Ohisalo criticized the government partner Sdp on Thursday for delaying the postponement of climate action.
“Now is absolutely the wrong time to hit the brakes or make a u-turn in energy policy to the past. For some reason, it is still frowned upon in many parties: the opposition has been demanding the postponement of climate action for a long time, but now the parliamentary group of the Sdp would also like to increase fossil emissions rights”, Ohisalo said at his party’s summer meeting in Turku.
“These are not solutions at all.”
Ohisalon According to In his view, they undermine the investments and future prospects of Finnish companies.
“There are several factors behind inflation, but especially the end of cheap fossil energy. The decision-makers should recognize this so that we can find a way out of it: it is not just an energy crisis, but a fossil energy crisis,” Ohisalo stated.
Ohisalo also pointed out that the Greens will not be in a government where climate action is put on hold. He emphasized that this is a threshold issue for the party.
The greens at the summer meeting, vice-chairman Iris Suomela demanded additional support for public transport from the government’s budget rush, so that ticket prices can be kept reasonable.
In Suomela’s opinion, in addition to direct support, public transport taxation, such as value added tax, can be reduced.
Many cities are now planning to increase public transport ticket prices.
