EPP group vows to revise combustion engine ban ‘as soon as possible’
A leaked election manifesto of the centre-right European People’s Party group (EPP) vows to “revise” the combustion engine phase-out, raising questions as to whether hard-won Green Deal laws will unravel in the wake of a more conservative EU.

The EPP could rebrand as the automotive party at this point.
I know it's off-topic, but if you want to know how Hungary got where it is, look no further than the EPP and how much car manufacturers (and others) are nearshoring to Hungary. No worker's rights, no Euro so that pay can be inflated even more. Funnily enough, Hungary is actually importing immigrants en masse, despite fighting the "migrant crisis" being Fidesz's main policy point.
Most of the EU's biggest woes can be traced back to the EPP's neoliberal agenda.
Aww damn it. I was considering gritting my teeth and voting for the EPP because I want to keep v.d.Leyen, but I can't vote for this. I'm not a conservative but I like VDL and iirc she will only stay president if her party is the biggest.
What's so good about VDL? As a German, I think she's terrible.
They probably didn't hear about her scandals in Germany...
Von der Leyen is a classic example of a politician that failed upwards. There is nothing she did that others couldn't have done better.
