Merz: Deutschland Bleibt Beim Atom-Ausstieg
Deutschland wird seinen Kurs beim Ausstieg aus der Atomenergie beibehalten, wie Kanzler Merz bekräftigte. Während in Europa unter anderem EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen die Debatte über neue Kernkraftwerke vorantreibt, sieht Merz in Deutschland keine politische Mehrheit für eine Abkehr von diesem Beschluss. Diese Haltung wird trotz des anhaltenden Konflikts im Iran und der weiterhin steigenden Energiekosten aufrechterhalten.
Merz: Germany Remains Committed to Nuclear Phase-Out

While discussions about new nuclear power plants are being advanced across Europe by figures such as EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Merz sees no political majority in Germany for a change of course. This stance is maintained despite the ongoing conflict in Iran and persistently rising energy costs.
