.AOC praised as yanisvaroufakis launches GreenNewDeal for Europe
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her fellow young Democrats have inspired activists worldwide—but need to learn to build alliances globally if catastrophic climate change is to be averted, author and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis told Newsweek, before the launch of his campaign for Europe's own version of the Green New Deal.
Europe can learn much from Ocasio-Cortez and fellow green advocates stateside, Varoufakis told Newsweek. “AOC and the entire wing of the young American left should teach us not to be apologetic about our politics, our principles, our vision,” he said. In March, Graham warned that the Green New Deal would “destroy the American economy,” arguing, “Any piece of legislation that destroys the economy cannot save the environment.” He added, “Climate change is real, but the Green New Deal is a disaster.”

Till Rimmele/Getty Images Varoufakis plans to present poorer states with “an offer they cannot refuse," he said, including infrastructure upgrades, new jobs and support to transition from fossil fuel-powered industries to green ones.
