鈥淪ubsidies in mind鈥�
German Environment Minister Barbara Hendricks鈥檚 statement about a possible scrap bonus for combustion engines hints at a coercive policy approach to reducing cutting emissions from the transport sector, Heike G枚bel writes in a commentary for Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). Hendricks said a scrap bonus could not be ruled out, revealing that she 鈥渁lready has the next wave of subsidies in mind,鈥� G枚bel says, adding that the minister's failure to suggest a possible date could be explained by her seeking to avoid public vexation in the upcoming election year. 鈥淎fter all, citizens already pay quite a lot for the Energiewende,鈥� she writes.
