If EU emissions targets for the car industry were applied to top German politicians’ official vehicles, the fleet would fail, according to a climate body’s new study. DUH said it was “emblematic” of German carmakers.

From the previous “Ampel” government all ministers except one took their Limousines from the inauguration in 2021 to the parliament, which was just a few kilometers. The minister for agriculture and member of the green party, Cem Özdemir took the bike.
As he later pushed shitty environmentally unfriendly policy, that turned out to be just a stunt, but the other ministers of the green party could have done the same. Or they could have agreed that the ministers are distributed among three mini-busses or so, instead of everyone in their own limousine. Just some practical gesture showing that they pretend to care and don’t except themselves from the calls made to the public to lower their emissions.
To be fair, they all of the Green ministers had full electric cars. Besides Habeck who was not allowed due to no armored EV being available.
Thank you! I think I’m going crazy from how strictly the greens are criticized in today’s messed up political landscape. They could ride a bike to work and some leftist will scold them for doing a full toilet flush when doing small business or something. It’s never enough. Meanwhile the majority of the parliament happily watches the people and the planet burn.
