Critics slam German push to keep building combustion cars
Original: Ich liebe intelligente Entscheidungen. Bloß nicht für das Ausland # EAutos produzieren. Die warten alle auf unsere # Ver
German social media users are mocking the federal government's stance on car manufacturing, saying it is shortsighted not to push electric vehicle production for export while leaders like Friedrich Merz and Markus Söder back combustion engines. The criticism also targets VW, with commenters pointing to dividend payouts despite weak strategy on the Energiewende and Verkehrswende.
Why now: Debate over Germany's automotive strategy and the government's favouring of combustion engines over e-mobility is flaring up again.
