The European Parliament votes down the controvese Emissions Trading System (ETS). It was rejected by a clear majority, with the Green and Socialist MEPs rejecting the proposal because the amendments of the conservative groups weakened it too much in their opinion, while the right-wing groups considered it too ambitious.
The Left will put forward Sira Rego MEP (Izquierda Unida, Spain) as its candidate for President of the European Parliament in the midterm elections in January 2022.
