German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the decline of fossil fuels and the shift towards renewable energy sources. By 2030, Germany aims to generate 80% of its electricity from renewable sources, including solar, wind, and hydropower. The move comes amid energy challenges caused by the Ukraine conflict and the EU’s commitment to climate neutrality by mid-century.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has issued a stern warning to the European Union over its stance on Ukraine, stating that the EU’s current approach could lead to a breaking point. Orban emphasized that Hungary’s position is to adhere to NATO’s original mission as a defense alliance, criticizing the EU’s involvement in military matters without having military capabilities of its own. He also highlighted the contrasting views within Europe, pointing out that while many European governments support the war in Ukraine, Hungary and the Vatican advocate for peace. Orban suggested that European citizens might eventually pressure their governments to change their pro-war stance and called for a change in leadership in Brussels.
