Corporate cars play a crucial role in EU's transition to zero-emission mobility.

We propose:

💼 Tax benefits for companies supporting the switch
🚖 Actions for taxis and ride-hailing
🛫 More decarbonised vehicles at airport rentals

A zero-emission car should be the norm, not a luxury.

Europe must be able to protect and defend itself.

At yesterday's European Council, we committed to taking greater responsibility for our own security.

Ever wondered how a bill becomes a law?
1️⃣ A member of Congress introduces the bill.
2️⃣ Committee Review: Committees analyze, amend, or table it.
3️⃣ House & Senate Votes: Both chambers must pass the same version.
4️⃣ The president can sign, veto, or let it become law without signing. 🏛️

I can no longer stand shortsightedness from folks who have barely completed high school. Not because I believe I'm superior, but rather because their mindset aligns with authoritarianism.

Here is a great read from Georgetown: "The Role of Education in Taming Authoritarian Attitudes"
