Ralph Cassar believes the strongest message voters disillusioned by politics can give is to “vote green” because not voting does not worry the big parties. Transitioning to a more sustainable green economy is a must, he argues but insists it has to be socially just. When I ask him about the pushback towards green policies across the EU, Cassar blames this on the European People’s Party that abandoned the Green Deal when it saw the popular mood on the continent shift. In Malta, the PN was proposing in parliament a motion to declare a climatic emergency but in the European Parliament the EPP was doing otherwise. People should choose green because it is the colour of progressives and environmentalists in this election.
