Critics slam Merz over combustion engine stance

German commentators are criticising CDU leader Friedrich Merz and other supporters of combustion engines who invoke 'technological openness'.

Why now: Debate over the future of the combustion engine and German auto industry competitiveness remains politically charged under Merz's leadership.
