Poland & Hungary voted against EU President VonDerLeyen’s climate proposals but are overcome by majority vote.Czechs & Bulgarians abstained.
​
As a reminder, the Council is the upper chamber of the EU’s legislature, like the Senate in The USA or The Bundesrat in Deutschland.
​
EU laws, proposed by the executive branch (Commission), must pass both the Council (elected national ministers) and lower house (Parliament).
Today’s vote by the EU Council (national governments) approves a deal reached with the EU Parliament in March on a reconciliation of their two different versions of the law (same as it works with Congress & Senate in The USA).
Here’s a summary from the Council about what the new EU renewable energy law will do:

The Green Deal is a pipe dream.
What about nuclear energy?
Poland and Hungary once more united in populism.
Poland & Hungary : just let them out, let’s just give them what they ask for so desperately.
Poland ans Hungary. As always
