Union Chancellor candidate Merz calls the shutdown of safe nuclear power plants “crazy.” This can also be understood as a tip against Merkel. The CDU leader is also making a nuclear push towards Paris.
Union Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz is aiming for closer cooperation with France and other neighboring countries in the event of a possible election victory on nuclear power. One could also talk about German participation in French companies that are in the process of building state-of-the-art, small, modular nuclear power plants, said Merz at the Junge Union’s Germany Day in Halle in Saxony-Anhalt.
“The decisions of the last few decades to get out rather than in are probably so irreversible that we can no longer cover our own energy needs,” criticized Merz. He described it as “madness” to have shut down safe nuclear power plants.
This can be understood as criticism of the former Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU). The nuclear phase-out was decided under her government responsibility. Merz and Merkel have been said to have a persistent mutual antipathy for many years after she ousted him from the post of CDU party leader.
