Coalition talks make short work of "unrealistic" climate targets
Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
Writing for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Jasper von Altenbockum says the prospective government has made unexpectedly short work of climate protection policy. Where the CDU/CSU, FDP and Greens haggled over fossil fuels for weeks, the conservatives and SPD have quickly swept away campaign promises by doing away with the "unrealistic" 2020 climate target, he writes. Von Altenbockum says the SPD would have liked to put up more of a show of having backed down on the targets only after a struggle. The FDP meanwhile, must be irritated that policy they fought so long over has been so easily conceded – but are also vindicated by proof that the "Jamaica" talks were geared towards satisfying the Greens.
