Berlin –

The Greens have moved to place Economy Minister Christine Reiche under parliamentary scrutiny after accusing her of deliberately stalling the planned amendment to the Renewable Energy Act (EEG). Sources close to the party argue that the minister’s alleged “work refusal” is jeopardising Germany’s climate targets and creating legal uncertainty for investors. An anonymous senior official in the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs told this outlet that the coalition’s patience has been exhausted, adding that “the clock is ticking” as the legislative window narrows.
