The third vice president and minister for Ecological Transition, Sara Aagesen, has described this Saturday as regrettable the agreement reached between PP and Vox in Extremadura, considering that it means “being against the Green Agenda”.
The minister made these statements during the second day of the Global Progressive Mobilisation (GPM), held at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via, where she also warned against discourses that present the climate agenda as a threat to the economy. “It is a lie. It is an outrage, it leaves us unprotected. We have to be better prepared,” she affirmed.
Europe, energy and the fight against disinformation
Aagesen defended that the European Union must maintain and even reinforce its commitment to the ecological transition in an international context marked by the crises in Ukraine and Iran, which he defined as an example of “fossil wars”.
According to him, as long as Europe continues to depend on fossil fuels, strategic decisions on stability and sovereignty will remain in the hands of third countries. The minister also asserted that the Green Agenda is not only environmental, but also a tool for competitiveness, reindustrialization, strategic autonomy, and security.
In relation to climate change, he called for a multilateral response and warned that one of the main priorities must be to combat climate disinformation, considering that scientists and researchers are increasingly exposed to smear campaigns.
