Opposition criticizes NRW state government. Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) is shirking responsibility and sending a “fatal signal” with his warning that the coal phase-out will fail by 2030.
The SPD and FDP also accused the Union of blocking the Traffic Light Federal Government's Growth Opportunities Act for party political reasons. “The CDU has long ceased to be concerned with the economy and the people in our country,” said SPD parliamentary group leader Jochen Ott.
