Former Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra, a fiscal hardliner with limited experience in climate policy, is “definitely” suited to lead the European Commission’s work on climate action, Environment Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius told POLITICO. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen earlier this week nominated Hoekstra as climate commissioner, a role in which he’ll be in charge of climate action “under the guidance” of Maroš Šefčovič, who was named executive vice president for the European Green Deal. Speaking to POLITICO, Sinkevičius said he had “no doubt in … [the] president’s choice” to replace Frans Timmermans, who held both posts before he resigned from the Commission to run in the Netherlands’ November election. While those shoes are “not easy to fill,” Hoekstra “deserves the chance and then … we can judge … his work at the end of the day,” the environment c...Two Armenian soldiers killed in clash with Azerbaijan
