Climate Action - For the people and the planet

Today is the European Day of Rail. Rail has been a critical part of the development of European mobility. Europe's rail system has had a key role in connecting European cities across the continent.

Transportation has been a major focus of the European Greens, with investment in rail being a key Green demand. We can have a just and sustainable transition that puts workers and their rights at the forefront! The enhancement of European railway networks will mean new green jobs that offer fair remuneration and decent working conditions.

On World Press Freedom Day, the European Greens are highlighting lawsuits used to silence critics as a threat to European democracy. Journalists have faced an especially high degree of violence and harassment in the past year.

But the hostilities under which they must work don’t end there. The Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP) is wielded by individuals and companies to keep journalists from speaking out on issues of public concern.
