Well congrats Olaf, you just made yourself even more unelectable.
Punitive fines means they can pay themselves out of abiding by the legal limit. This should not be acceptable. Shut down all the cars that are not within legal limits and have the car companies recompense the customers they already sold them to.
The longer we keep these unreformable dinosaurs alive artificially, the more damage it will do to the european economy, environment and people, when they finally fall.
Uh, aren’t fines supposed to be punitive? If it’s not punitive it’s just a fee
Just call them “finacial incentive” instead of fees.
Germany was all about ‘punitive’ measures following the financial crisis—when it was someone else’s economy in trouble.
Germany’s car manufacturers thought they could continue making efficiency gains with combustion engines until the EV fad was over and everyone retuned to ICE cars. Looks like they were wrong, and that’s no reason to sacrifice the environment further.
About time this fucking clown is removed from all political positions. He’s been spewing shit from day one.
Unfortunately, the most likely replacement is even worse.
Can we please please please have Habeck? I don’t want Mr. Burns :(
