France and Germany have agreed to push for a further weakening of the EU’s planned phaseout of new combustion engine cars, a deal that could break a months-long deadlock among member states, business daily Handelsblatt and newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung reported.



Why the hell is Merz so hellbend on destroying the German car industry? Electric is clearly the future. There are even a bunch of fairly cheap electric cars available and prices are falling. Not just that, but EVs are already taking a large enough market share, that car companies are shutting down combustion engine production lines. If Germany remains focused on them, then the Chinese will just kill their car companies.
Yes, sure. But will that happen before his term is over? No? Seeee, thats someone else’s problem. For now pandering to the far right is more important
Yes but this is more serving the rich. Pandering to the far right is how he and politicians/insert-favorite-animal-insult like him get political cover for doing their job, which is serving the rich.
por que no los dos?
Die allermeisten Reichen sind auch Rechts
