The adoption of the numerous Green Deal laws in the European Parliament was made possible by a comfortable majority of those parties that seriously wanted to make a difference in terms of climate policy. The EPP, Social Democrats, Liberals and Greens were rarely in complete agreement. Compromises were usually hard-won and not accepted by everyone, but they were possible. However, this fundamental consensus began to crack last year when the EPP vehemently opposed new nature conservation laws and found majorities to its right.
