“A political and financial disaster”
DLF
Deutschlandfunk’s Theo Geers blames the government, and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble in particular, for the Constitutional Court ruling over the nuclear fuel tax. “Clumsy errors mean champagne corks were flying in the executive boardrooms of E.ON, RWE and EnBW,” Geers writes. “The state could have invested the roughly 7 billion euros elsewhere, and above all better. Now the money is gone and the damage to the treasury is not recoverable. It is not just a financial, but also a political disaster.”
