Claims and accusations: Investigation committee checks nuclear phase -out

opening of the examination of the nuclear phase -out: What is behind it?

A new chapter was opened in the German Bundestag when an investigation committee was entrusted with the task of examining the decisions about the German nuclear phase -out. The committee was launched to check the state processes in connection with the adaptation of national energy supply to the consequences of the Ukraine War.

The central question that the committee concerns is whether the decision-makers were sufficiently informed and which domestic and foreign instances were included in the decision-making process. It is particularly questioned whether the possible longer operation of the nuclear power plants was actually neutral in 2022. Germany's energy policy since February 24, 2022 is the focus - the beginning of the Russian war of aggression.

The application for the committee was submitted by the Union faction in mid -June and found support from Union and AfD in the Bundestag. Critics accuse Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke and Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck that the continued operation of the nuclear power plants has not checked neutral enough.

accusations against Habeck and Lemke at the center of the investigation

Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke and Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck, both of the Greens, have been targeted by the investigation because of the allegations that they are said to have made a partisan decision regarding the continued operation of the nuclear power plants. This caused tensions and discussions, both within the government and in the opposition.

CDU politician Stefan Heck expressed the strong suspicion that the public was deliberately deceived by Habeck and Lemke. This led to the convening of the committee, in which he was elected chairman. It is the second investigation committee in this legislative period.

lemke and habeck show any accusations and emphasize that they are calmly opposed to the examination.

The decision to let the last three nuclear livishes go into operation for longer than planned by the Federal Government due to the energy crisis due to the Ukraine War. Thus, the German nuclear phase -out of December 31, 2022 was postponed to April 15, 2023.

The discussion about the duration of the operation of the power plants and the final decision on the nuclear phase -out have ensured continuing debates and disputes in the political landscape of Germany. The committee of inquiry will now bring light into the background of these decisions and illuminate the role of Lemke and Habeck.
