Nikos Androulakis, a Greek Member of the European Parliament, reveals that the government’s announcement of a €1.5 billion carbon trading rights initiative is misleading. These rights, tied to the Decarbonization Fund for Islands, are based on his legislative efforts from 2017. Androulakis criticizes Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for failing to acknowledge the EU’s funding mechanisms established during his tenure, arguing that the initiative is not a recent achievement of the current government but a long-standing European plan that only saw implementation after considerable delay.
