Luxembourg's prime minister was visibly unhappy during the state of the nation speech this afternoon when two Greenpeace members walked up besides him and unfolded banners demanding a "Green New Deal now". According to wort.lu, he addressed the parliament's president and asked if "something like this could also happen in London, Brussels or Paris? I don't think so!" It's interesting he didn't mention Strasbourg.
So what's this "Green New Deal" about? I had a look at Greenpeace Luxembourg's website, but it doesn't mention anything on the front page or under "Actualités"*. The last entry on their blog dates back to April 2nd. Could something like this happen anywhere else? I don't think so!
Using the search function, I finally found this site which is all about climate change and raises the valid question of whether or not Luxembourg - as one of the richest nations - is doing enough. I'll get back to this topic another day.
*Update April 22nd: Their website has now been updated.
