LMP calls for common EU environmental policy

LMP sees climate change as the greatest challenge ahead, and its European parliamentary election campaign will focus on the fight for a united, common EU environmental policy, the secretary of the green opposition party's national board said on Thursday. "We want a Europe based on sustainable energy that phases out nuclear energy," Mate Kanasz-Nagy told a press conference in Budapest. The party will also fight to ensure European wages for workers in Hungary, he said. The government should cut taxes on wages and compensate the loss of revenue by taxing multinational companies for pollution, he said.
