Ambitious 2050 climate goal relegated to footnote at EU summit
Some have come to understand that jobs and economic health get votes. The protesters on Fridays are fickle. You give in to their demands they will hit you with a longer list tomorrow.

As a politician, I know where I would look for support at the ballot box. Might be that the holdouts save the EU from an economic catastrophe.
