my vision

In European politics, I like to look at the small details – to better understand the big picture. What doesn’t work, what could we do to improve the system, what do scientific facts suggest? We need to fix the small issues to achieve something great. In Brussels I’m right at the core of it all – for all of you in Europe! I fight for a better transport system, a healthy environment, an intact climate and a unified Europe. That’s what I’m working for every day, one step at a time.
