Meanwhile, politicians from the Left opposition are starting to demand an end of power exports to ... France. Because, you know, the French (with a carbon footprint <<<< Germany's) are the real problem here, with their nuclear obsession.

"Germany's economic challenges have something in common: they arose because of a lack of political ambition, creative reforms and sufficient investment when times were good." My op-ed, in 2019, for the FT.

Dogma and complacency put the German economy at risk

A lack of political ambition, reform and investment when times were good have hobbled the country
