"Hihetlen hírek! Már kész alku volt, de a 400,000 hangjaink kicsengettek az európai képviselőknék a meghallgatásokban és megállapodás nem jött össze Cañete jelölésében. Most fel kell lendítenünk a nyomást a négy politikai vezetőn, akik eldöntik a szavazást. Kattints ide  egy sürgős üzenet küldéséhez".

Aki nem tud angolul, a Google Translate segítségével fordíthat.



Az EU a legfontossabb klíma munkát egy embernek szeretné adni, aki egy piszkos energia bajnok. Csak egy út van ezt az őrült kinevezést megállítani: európai kulcs képviselőket kell meggyőzni arról, hogy árkolják Cañetét és találjanak egy erős klíma vezetőt, aki mindannyiunkat képviseli. Csak néhány napunk van -- írd alá a kérelmet és mondd el mindenkinek:

"Incredible news! This was a done deal, but our 400,000 voices rang out through MEPs in the hearing and no agreement was reached on Cañete's nomination. Now we need to ramp up the pressure on the four political leaders who will decide the vote. Click here to send an urgent message."

Dear friends across Europe,



The EU is about to give the most important climate job to a man who is a champion for dirty energy. There is only one way to stop this crazy appointment: to persuade key MEPs to ditch Cañete and find a strong climate leader that represents us all. We only have days -- sign the petition and tell everyone:

SIGN THE PETITION
In days a Spanish oil 'baron' could be chosen as our European Commissioner on Climate. And only we can stop this shocking appointment!

It would be absurd to leave the leadership of Europe's energy policy and global climate talks to a man who The Sunday Times has named "Señor Petrolhead". But MEPs can reject the appointment and while some are threatening to accept him in return for political favours, with enough public backing, progressive MEPs could lead the charge to block him. 

Last week we created the largest march ever for 100% clean energy. Let's build on that momentum now and demand a strong climate leader for this crucial post. Public outrage has pushed MEPs to reject controversial candidates at the last minute before. It's up to us to do it again now -- Click to say NO to Arias Cañete and tell everyone -- our petition will be delivered directly to the MEPs:

The new EU Energy and Climate Commissioner will be responsible for delivering ambitious emissions cuts and leading us towards a new green, low carbon EU economy. Yet after weeks of horse trading and political brinkmanship, our leaders have struck a deal that includes giving this crucial portfolio to one of the most unsuitable candidates for the job.

Cañete is a man with deep connections to the oil sector, and although he has sold his shares in two oil companies and claims he is clean, serious conflicts of interest remain. He is not only the former chairman of both companies, but his son and brother-in-law still hold powerful positions in both companies! He also has an appalling record as the Spanish environment minister who greenlighted oil explorations in the pristine waters off the Canary Islands. This history alone should automatically exclude him from this post, but he is also renowned for sexism during the last EU elections.

Luckily, there is still a last hurdle Mr. Cañete needs to clear: right now he is facing tough hearings in two parliamentary committees in Brussels, and if they issue a negative opinion, they will force EU President Juncker to revisit the deal and find a better candidate for this position. Experts say that the main party leaders are afraid of making changes, but if the committee feels empowered enough by us to reject him, Juncker can be forced to reshuffle portfolios or to go back to the Spanish government to present a new candidate.

In 2004 after a big wave of protests, MEPs successfully used their power to replace the ultra-conservative Rocco Buttiglione. Progressive MEPs are poised to speak out, but they need to urgently get a mandate from hundreds of thousands of us from every corner of Europe to do the right thing. We only have days -- sign now and tell everyone and our voices will be delivered right into the hearings:

Last week 675,000 people marched in 2000 events globally in the People's Climate March, and we got our leaders' attention. We know ambition and leadership are critical from the EU now to get the deal we need to save the planet. We cannot now leave what the EU does on climate to someone whose interests directly contradict everything we worked for, and everything the scientists are telling us. Let's demand strong leadership to confront the biggest crisis of our time.

With hope ,

Luis, Anna, Patri, Christoph, Nick, Andrea and the rest of the Avaaz team.
