ASTANA, 28 November (BelTA) – The European Green Deal is an unfair competition project, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the CSTO summit in Astana, BelTA has learned.
The Belarusian head of state noted that the West is spending all its efforts on fighting fake problems of its own make. A striking example is the climate agenda, which “Western politicians have long since turned into a business”.
“The trendy European Green Deal is nothing more than an unfair competition project that works exclusively in the interests of Western countries that are primarily responsible for air pollution. By the way, many are already saying this out loud,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
Approved in 2019 the European Green Deal is an economic development strategy that aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and break the dependence between economic growth and resource consumption. However, there is no consensus on it even within the EU, which causes heated debate. “Defended by some, criticized by others, misunderstood by many, Europe's Green Deal on climate change has generated heated debate across the EU,” Euronews wrote in its article in May this year.
