Europe's “Green Party” momentum pointed to increased momentum for environmental issues September 30 19:50
In Europe, the “Green Party” has made great strides in Austrian parliamentary elections, and in Germany, the approval rate is on par with that of Merkel ’s political party. It has been pointed out that there is a growing momentum for various environmental problems.
In Austria, the election of the House of Representatives took place on the 29th, and the “National Party” of the right-handed center is expected to become the first party as a result of the estimate of local public broadcasting, while emphasizing environmental protection policies. The “Green Party” is 14%, up 10 points from the previous time, and has risen to the Fourth Party. “Green Party” did not have seats, but it is expected to increase 26 seats at a stretch.
Kurz, the leader of the National Party, says that he will talk with all parties about future coalition negotiations, and the Kogler leader of the Green Party also shows willingness to join the NHK coverage before the election, depending on conditions. As a result of this breakthrough, the possibility of the “Green Party” entering the coalition government has emerged.
On the other hand, in a poll conducted in Germany on the 27th of this month, the approval rate of the “Green Party” was 27%, showing that it was lined up with Merkel ’s Christian Democratic and Social Alliance. It has been pointed out that there is a growing momentum for global environmental problems, including activist Greta Thunberg.
