EU Withdraws Green Claims Directive Amid Political Backlash | JQJO

The European Commission withdrew the Green Claims directive, a law holding companies accountable for false environmental claims. This decision, requested by the EPP group, was praised by right-wing and far-right parties. Socialists and liberals criticized the move, accusing Commission President von der Leyen of aligning with far-right forces and jeopardizing the pro-European majority. The incident follows other disagreements, including the Pfizergate saga, potentially straining the cooperation between center-right, socialist, and liberal groups within the European Parliament.
