Der er absolut ingen tvivl. @radikale er bedrevidende-kloge-Åge-parti. Stærkt at @MortensenEU udlægger teksten om vores overforbrug af billige tekstiler denne morgen på @tv2newsdk. En vigtig kamp for både #dkeu og #dkpol som også kæmpes af @Sigridfriis og @SamiraNawa.

@mortensenEU: “As long as virgin materials are cheaper than recovered materials, we have a fundamental problem. There are a lot of opportunities to address these both in the EU and on a national level.”
