Abstract: The European Green Deal (EGD), approved by the European (EU) Commission in 2019 and ratified by the EU Parliament in 2020, marks its fifth anniversary. Following the June 2024 EU political elections, which reshaped the Parliament, this study examines three key aspects: election outcomes, shifting power dynamics among political parties, and the ongoing formation of the EU Commission. Employing a qualitative approach, it assesses whether the EGD’s original 2019 objectives will be realized or abandoned. Between 2019 and 2024, national elections in several EU member states brought government changes, with right-wing parties emphasizing the perceived negative impacts of the green transition. The findings suggest that the full implementation of the EGD is unlikely due to two main factors: first, the political parties that oppose the EGD’s ideological framework emerged victorious in the June 2024 elections; second, although the EU Commission continues to receive political support from the same factions that endorsed the EGD in 2019, their influence has waned. Furthermore, the European People’s Party, the largest political group in the EU Parliament, now views the EGD as excessively ideological and potentially harmful to industries and public welfare.
