Doi: https://doi.org/10.58603/ZOLW2426

Rezumat: European Green Deal policies and strategies has sparked vivid debate in the European Parliament in the last EP mandate, especially after a row of world-wide and regional crises, such as COVID-19, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and high energy prices. There was registered disagreement in terms of fulfilling the EGD desiderates at a fast pace. If the Greens have lately received less support, the far-right, very vocal when it comes to Green Deal strategies and legislation, seems to be more appalling to voters throughout Europe. The 2024 EP elections were to a discourse level a mirror for all the above-mentioned aspects. Our article analyzes if EGD themes are present in the electoral programs of the main parties and independent EP parties/ independent candidates in Romania and if they are also present in the electoral discourses reflected on the main media platforms during the campaign.
