"The money from these taxes should be used to expand the European rail network, to make this transport a viable alternative to aviation," Zandberg stated.
Zandberg emphasized the need for increased European funding to enhance local connections and build high-speed railroads, adding that "a lot still needs to be done to strengthen public transportation in Europe," which also involves policies to reduce CO2 emissions.
He warned that a victory for the Christian Democrats in the upcoming European Parliament elections would maintain the status quo, favoring big corporations over ordinary people.
According to Zandberg, a win for the Left would lead to investments in public transportation, housing, wage increases, and economic equalization. He also cautioned against the far-right's intentions to destabilize the European Union.
Poland's elections for the European Parliament will be held on June 9, with 53 deputies to be elected.
