BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A local Democratic official in Connecticut's largest city invoked her 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination Friday rather than answer questions in court about allegations of illegal ballot box stuffing during a recent mayoral primary. In some of them, a woman resembling Geter-Pataky, who works as a greeter at the City Hall annex, can be seen making repeat trips to an absentee ballot drop box outside the building early in the morning on Sept. 5 and stuffing documents inside. In other videos, it appears she hands other people documents that could be ballots and escorts them to the box. Gomes' attorney in the lawsuit, William Bloss, said the videos prove widespread abuse of the absentee ballot system in Bridgeport. Under Connecticut law, certain family members, police, local election officials or a caregiver can drop off a ballot for an absentee voter.

That would cost the EU its figurehead in international climate negotiations and the politician who drove through Europe's toughest measures yet to cut planet-warming emissions. The move was at odds with the U.S., and faced ire from some EU countries who felt it gave too much away. Ribera's role at the helm of Spain's green agenda is on the line after a snap election on Sunday ended with gridlock. The EU wants to pass at least two more green policies before EU elections next year - the nature law and electricity market reforms. Spain - whose current government typically backs ambitious EU climate policies - holds the EU's rotating presidency, and will chair EU countries' negotiations on all new laws until 2024.

BRUSSELS, Dec 17 (Reuters) - European Union negotiators were set on Saturday morning to resume efforts to reach a deal on overhauling the EU carbon market, the bloc's main policy tool for fighting global warming, after a first round of talks failed on Friday. Meeting that goal will require the EU carbon market to be reformed to cut emissions faster, which it does by requiring around 10,000 power plants and factories to buy CO2 permits when they pollute. Negotiators are at odds over how quickly to end the free CO2 permits the EU gives industries to protect them from foreign competition. But EU lawmakers want to exclude private consumers from the new CO2 market, a stance opposed by EU countries. If approved, the revamped carbon market will form the centrepiece of a package of 12 new EU policies designed to cut planet-heating emissions faster.

„Este un moment istoric pentru UE (...) Acordul ne consolidează poziţia în lume ca lider al luptei împotriva crizei climatice”, a transmis într-un comunicat Frans Timmermans, vicepreşedinte al Comisiei responsabil cu Pactul Verde european. La rândul său, ministrul portughez al mediului, Joao Pedro Matos Fernandes, a cărui ţară deţine preşedinţia rotativă a Consiliului UE, a salut acordul, spunând că este „un semnal puternic pentru întreaga lume” şi „un obiectiv consfinţit”. De acum, „obiectivul de a obţine neutralitatea în privinţa emisiilor de carbon pentru 2050 va deveni obligatoriu juridic”, a scris pe Twitter şi eurodeputatul german Peter Liese (grupul PPE, dreapta pro-UE). Reducerea totală a emisiilor ar putea ajunge la aproape 57% comparativ cu 1990, a calculat Pascal Canfin. Nu este Pactul Verde de care avem nevoie (...) Este insuficient raportat la Acordul de la Paris”, a scris pe Twitter Michael Bloss, eurodeputat ecologist german.
