Union taken aback - Habeck's AKW documents may be untraceable or censored.
Amidst the ongoing conflict over the shutdown of nuclear power plants 13 months ago, the CDU/CSU is demanding to know the real motivations behind the government's decision. The calls for a parliamentary inquiry are escalating, as the nuclear power plant dispute was also up for discussion during the Economics Working Group on Tuesday morning.
According to Economics Minister Robert Habeck (54, Greens), the operators did not find prolonged operation feasible in spring 2022 during the dispute about longer lifetimes for nuclear power plants. Nevertheless, new documents indicate that the operators intended to continue, but the "political will" of the government was missing.
CDU calls for a Committee of Inquiry: "We have no other choice"
If it turns out that the ministries are hiding something, "we will have no choice but to investigate the events in parliament." This statement comes with heavy criticism.
"The selection of the documents submitted is not comprehensible. It is also unclear why several documents are missing. The documents are heavily redacted," it continues.
The concern about how the Green Party and parliamentary group affected decisions within the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Environment is also significant.
The parliamentary group's executive committee stated: "Our goal is to establish a Committee of Inquiry!"
Union Planning for a "current hour" in the Bundestag
Also called a debate on a current topic in the plenary, where MPs can contribute with short speeches lasting five minutes. The "current hour" can be requested by a parliamentary group or by five percent of the members of the Bundestag.
Spahn made it clear: "If the government does not provide complete transparency by the end of the week, it will itself create the basis for a parliamentary inquiry."
