| Date | 23:06:24, April 07, 2020 CET | From | Socialist Party | To | Debating the CPL Reform "No more CO2 emissions" |
| Message | This is a big reform that will be in our program to tackle climate change. The capitalists are always pointing fingers at the poor people, at the workers. By doing this, they are just defending their interests. The CPL is there to defend the interests of the workers and fight back against this dictature where only the billionaires, the millionaires have a voice and are telling the working class and the middle class to make an effort for the environment. No! All these capitalist system and companies are RESPONSIBLE for the degradation of our living conditions, the pollution of our planet, the death of all our ecosystem. Saving the planet is something that only communism can do because when the industries are working for the people and not private interests or profits, we only produce what we need which means that there is no overproduction and our planet can breathe. Last week, I met some young people that are part of an militant organisation to save our climate. And they all told us the same thing about your government: you don't care about saving the climate, you are just there for your own interests and the interests of your fascist electorate and your privileged businessmen Mr. the Prime Minister. This is the reality of what you are doing to fight one of the biggest emergency of our times. Nothing! Elliot Garner, parliamentarian of the CPL faction. |
