Energy, holidays, home ownership: are the Greens destroying our prosperity? | politics

Frontal attack by CSU boss Markus Söder (56) on Robert Habeck and the Greens!

► The eco-party is “bourgeois and illiberal”, Germany’s “ban party number 1”, says Söder in BILD am SUNDAY. Habeck’s plans: “an attack on the middle class”, anti-social and poison for the economy!

Is that correct? The BILD fact check:

Heating

Economics Minister Robert Habeck (53, Greens) wants to ban the first oil and gas heating systems from 2024 – horror for tenants and homeowners: Up to 30,000 euros are incurred for conversions to heat pumps!

Auto

From 2035, diesel and petrol engines will no longer be permitted. This drives up prices for new and used vehicles. E-cars are unaffordable for many. Added to this: explosion of fees for parking meters, resident parking!

energy/work

Energy is becoming unaffordable for industry and medium-sized companies. After the nuclear and coal phase-out, German electricity prices are twice as high as e.g. B. in the USA. In addition, after the nuclear phase-out, 30 large power plants are missing (McKinsey study). Result: site losses, job cuts (BASF: 1500 jobs).

home

Hamburg’s Greens want to ban single-family houses in entire districts and only approve apartments/terraced houses. Habeck buddy Anton Hofreiter (53) thinks the plans are great. average earner? Can hardly afford a house anyway…

Essen

The Greens want to re-educate the Germans, force a special tax (19% instead of 7% VAT) on meat cutlets or sausages. Agriculture Minister Cem Özdemir (57) even wants to ban (for children) for many types of cheese.

Vacation

With expensive fuel, higher flight taxes, stricter conditions for cruises, etc., every holiday that doesn’t take you to the quarry lake by bike should become more expensive.

“Germany is falling economically,” warns Gitta Connemann (58, CDU), head of the SME Union: “The current energy policy is endangering prosperity and leading to “deindustrialization”.
