A European Parliament majority
hopefully not including the Socialists for the first time will
end the "madness" of forcing people to buy electric cars later
this year, right-wing League party leader, Deputy Premier and
Transport Minister Matteo Salvini said Wednesday.
Brussels is asking EU members to phase out climate crisis
fuelling cars over the next few years but Salvini and right-wing
allies in the EP are against the pace of the move.
The League leader is hoping that June's EP elections produce a
majority of centre-right and right-wing parties for the first
time, dispensing with the need to rely on the Democrat and
Socialist caucus, which wants e-cars to come in sooner, to make
up the numbers.
"For the first time in history the European Parliament will be
able to have a majority without the Left, without the
socialists," Salvini said.
"And this means stopping the madness of the electric-only car
and other nonsense".
