Stop the nuclear deal!
The parliamentary group of DIE LINKE gave the following statement at its three day meeting this autumn in Bad Saarow:
The deal which the goverment has made with the nuclear oligarchs is an attack on democracy. The Merkel/Westerwelle government has finally turned the federal republic into a “Lobbyocracy”. This is not acceptable, it goes against the constitution and disempowers the parliament against the lobbyists. DIE LINKE will be involved in preventing the nuclear-deal even if this means taking it to the Federal Constitutional Court. The Left will therefore introduce legislative initiatives in the Bundestag with the aim of empowering public utility companies and other municipal and decentralised energy providers against the four big energy groups, so that their power generation capacities can be gradually remunicipalised and the networks transferred to public ownership. The four main energy groups must independently and without delay be prohibited from price increases, within the framework of a restored price approval juristiction. DIE LINKE calls for the immediate and irreversible withdrawal from nuclear energy.
