“Judgment here, judgment there?”

Die Welt

Writing a commentary in Die Welt, Daniel Wetzel takes aim at German politicians’ calls to prevent the 6.3 billion-euro nuclear fuel tax refund to energy companies. Katja Kipling, co-chair of the Left party has called on the government to redirect the companies’ tax reimbursement into the country’s nuclear waste disposal fund, for example, while Carsten Schneider, deputy chair of the SPD parliamentary group, said the nuclear industry had to "make its financial contribution in a different way”, Wetzel reports, arguing that the court ruling must be upheld.
