Member of Parliament Bock highlighted Article 20a of the German Constitution, which prohibits new legislation from leading to increased greenhouse gas emissions. AfD politician Scheirich called for the abolition of all state mandates in energy policy, while Green Party leader Dröge deemed the proposal ‘already failed,’ arguing it is out of touch with current global oil price shocks. The law, which allows the installation of new oil and gas heating systems under specific conditions, is a response to previous reforms led by Robert Habeck during the prior coalition government, which the Union and SPD now seek to amend.
