Greens co-boss Annalena Baerbock calls for that in a Traffic light coalition climate protection must be a cross-sectional task. But one department still has to be in charge, said Baerbock on Tuesday on ZDF. When asked about her earlier demand for a veto for an environment ministry, she emphasized that climate protection must be “binding in any case”. She speaks out against demands to lower VAT in general. This is ecologically nonsensical.
Baerbock affirmed that the coal phase-out law would have to be changed again by the next federal government. The “guard rails” for this have already been set in the exploratory paper by the SPD, Greens and FDP. “We have to do it, otherwise everything that was promised in the election campaign is a mockery,” she added. If climate protection is a human task, then all three parties must ensure that climate protection becomes a cross-sectional task. This also applies to areas such as residential construction, agriculture and heat generation.
