Malte Larsen criticized what he described as double standards among politicians in the climate field. He wrote that ordinary Danes should pay more to fly on vacation, while climate minister Samira Nawa, according to his information, traveled by private jet to a climate summit in Turkey. Also, the climate spokesperson for the Alternative party and other members of parliament were reportedly flown there, according to Larsen. Larsen believed that politicians simultaneously moralized over Danes' vacation habits and wanted more expensive plane tickets and lower CO₂ emissions. He questioned the benefits of the climate summit but emphasized that he was not against politicians flying. His criticism was directed at what he saw as a difference between the demands placed on ordinary citizens and the travel of politicians. #klimafornægtelse #dobbeltmoral #klimaforandringer (translated)

Steven Arrazola de Oñate wrote that he found the fierce reactions from N-VA leaders to statements made by Tom Van Grieken significant. He said that Van Grieken was right in his view and had rightly raised the issue last weekend. According to Arrazola de Oñate, the N-VA leadership reacted so sharply because more and more Flemish people were realizing that they had been misled. He stated that hard-working Flemish people who had voted for N-VA for years were disappointed. In conversations with entrepreneurs and employees, he claimed to hear more and more that they would not vote for the party again. According to him, voters had expected change, more frugal government policy, and order, but instead received a government that lived beyond its means and produced poor budget figures. Arrazola de Oñate also referred to the N-VA leadership as “Open VLD 2.0” and accused them of focusing more on Van Grieken than on defending their own policy. He believed that the leaders were shirking responsibility and structural reforms by pointing to Van Grieken as a scapegoat. He wrote that voters would have to wait nearly three years to hold the politicians accountable and predicted that N-VA could be severely punished in 2029. He argued that angry reactions, political excuses, and communication campaigns would not protect the party from the judgment of voters. #NVA #Vlaanderen #Politiek (translated)

"The Meloni government announces with great fanfare a reduction of 15 euros per megawatt-hour, but for families, the benefit amounts to just 1.4 euros per month. An insulting figure that shows the gap between the government's propaganda and the reality faced by millions of Italians dealing with increasingly heavy bills. Once again, temporary measures are being implemented without addressing the structural problem of high energy costs: dependence on gas," denounces the leader of Europa Verde, Angelo Bonelli. #Bollette #Energia #Gas (translated)
