Greens
The Greens have made massive gains in the European elections, but we must not ignore the rise of the right. The Greens/EFA look set to win 69 seats (9.2%) in the EU Parliament, up from 50, making it the 4th largest party in Europe. Also, the EUL/Nordic Green Left secured 39 seats (5.2%). So, Greta Thunberg, even if the politicians weren’t listening, the people were. We must celebrate this victory. But we must also note the rise of nationalism, which is partly due to increasing inequality between the rich and the rest. And sustainability without social inclusion is not sustainable.
