Merkel disposes of strongest dissent with Greens
With her remarks on the 鈥渞ight approach鈥� of banning combustion engine cars sometime in the future, German Chancellor Angela Merkel not only 鈥渃aptured an election topic for herself鈥�, but also 鈥渄isposed of the strongest dissent with the Green Party for a possible coalition after the elections鈥�, writes Markus Balser in S眉ddeutsche Zeitung. However, in a letter to Merkel, seen by S眉ddeutsche, Green Party frontrunners Cem 脰zdemir and Katrin G枚ring-Eckardt criticise the government for being 鈥渕uch too hesitant鈥� with the transport transition and call on the chancellor to 鈥渂ring her policy in line with her rhetorical targets鈥�, writes Balser.
