Europe: calling on von der Leyen for this to be the last fossil fuel crisis

Euronews Portugal15 September 2026 at 06:00

Ursula von der Leyen strongly criticized fossil fuels in her 2022 State of the Union speech. This speech represented a clear position from the President of the European Commission against polluting energy sources.

Now, Europe faces yet another energy crisis. This situation puts pressure on von der Leyen's previous statements and on the European Union's climate commitments.

The request made to von der Leyen is for this crisis to be the last one related to fossil fuels. This appeal reflects the urgency of accelerating the energy transition on the European continent.
