Justice minister: Time for a 'Christian conservative green policy' - Politico

Justice Minister Judit Varga has called for the implementation of a "Christian conservative climate policy", in an article published by Brussels-based news outlet Politico on Monday. In the article, Varga said the reason why green parties had been making gains in western Europe was not because they were necessarily more effective in tackling the issue of climate change than conservatives, but rather because they had so far "largely been playing uncontested on an empty field". The minister argued, however, that instead of formulating "easily communicable commitments without estimating their societal, economic and civilizational impact and executability, Europe should be focusing on achieving long-lasting results".
