Europa Verde addresses environmental policy and political coalitions in Italy

Representatives of the Europa Verde party in Italy are addressing local environmental issues and political coalitions. In Rossano, Fouad El Gorch, the local secretary for Europa Verde/AVS, commented on the environmental stances of Fratelli d'Italia, noting a perceived discrepancy between the local branch's interest in sustainability and the national party's positions. El Gorch called for technical clarifications regarding tree pruning and emphasized the importance of completing the Green Plan and managing urban greenery to ensure citizen safety and tree health.

In Emilia-Romagna, Enrico Ottolini, a spokesperson for Europa Verde, discussed the potential for a broad center-left coalition ahead of the 2027 municipal elections. Ottolini suggested that differences with Mayor Michele Guerra's administration could be resolved through serious programmatic dialogue focused on current climate and geopolitical realities. He advocated for climate adaptation measures, including solar energy projects for housing and parking areas, the preservation of green spaces to mitigate heat islands, and urban de-sealing projects to reduce car dependency.
