Introduction 

When Ursula von der Leyen became president of the European Commission, her first big project was the so called Green Deal, which was then a little bit banished from our minds by the virus. So what is the Green Deal exactly? What are its possible social costs? Did all Member States agree to the proposals of « Fit for 55 », which was no yoga program for the older generation? In his last broadcast for Radio DGT, Jorge Valero explains the Green Deal, its financial and social impact on the one hand and the adjustment of fiscal rules on the other. DGT will certainly have to translate thousands of pages dealing with the green deal and its consequences. Jorge sets the stage and explains the context.
