Last week, the Bundestag dealt with the draft of the Building Energy Act for the first time. Mario Czaja wants to step on the legislative brakes. “Sloppy patchwork” is “wrong and dangerous”.
CDU General Secretary Mario Czaja has warned the traffic light coalition against passing an immature heating law before the summer break. “The people in our country have been sufficiently unsettled by this chaos,” he told the editorial network Germany (RND) about the heating dispute within the traffic light. “I think sloppily piecemeal work just to meet an artificial deadline is wrong and dangerous.”
On Tuesday, a top group of SPD, Greens and FDP agreed on major changes to the cabinet’s draft of the Building Energy Act (GEG), the so-called Heating Act. A two-page “guide rail” paper was presented. On Thursday was the first consultation of the GEG in the Bundestag. The coalition is aiming for the Bundestag to pass the law before the summer break. This begins after July 7th.
Czaja said: “What we have now are guard rails, not a draft law. There is reason to be skeptical as to whether this government will be able to present a unified draft law before the summer break.” The traffic light parties had announced an agreement in big words, which was immediately interpreted differently by the Greens, FDP and SPD.
