Coalition Partners Fine Gael and Green Party Engage in Heated Exchange Ahead of Elections
A war of words has erupted between Fine Gael and the Green Party as the Coalition partners face off with just days to go before the local and European elections. Fine Gael MEP candidate in Dublin, Regina Doherty, accused the Green Party of “arrogance”, “talking down” to voters, and having “an autocratic style” of Government.
In response, Green Party Dublin MEP candidate Ciarán Cuffe accused Fine Gael of unleashing “climate chaos” and of “scaremongering”. The exchange of accusations highlights the tension between the two parties as they campaign for votes.
Ms. Doherty criticized the Green Party for their approach to climate change and their impact on businesses and people’s quality of life. Mr. Cuffe, on the other hand, emphasized the importance of taking climate change seriously and the need for responsible action to protect the environment.
