You think that steel is is produced with renewables
The whole trajectory in Europe is to move steel production to renewables or at least hydrogen based methods.
[…] mining […] fossiles
Unions work to protect workers in the fossils […] industry
There is no fossil fuel industry left to protect in Germany. The few remaining coal mines are a dying breed and even closing up shop before the legal phaseout in 2035 because it’s just not economically viable anymore.
I don’t think that the German social democrats define what leftwing means for all of Europe.
No, they don’t but since we are arguing under an article about a situation in Germany, Social Democrats referees to the SPD in particular. And to understand why the SPD nowadays can hardly be considered a left leaning party you should read about the Seeheimer Kreis and the neoliberal agenda they have been pushing for years and which has formed the majority of SPD policies in recent years.
