SPD Official Accuses Habeck of Misleading Claims on Heating Law
Matthias Miersch challenges Robert Habeck's statement, asserting the heating law lacked social support measures and required parliamentary intervention.
- SPD General Secretary Matthias Miersch criticized Economy Minister Robert Habeck for claiming the SPD and FDP opposed social support plans in the heating law.
- Habeck stated on ARD that the failure to publish social funding measures alongside the heating law was a mistake, blaming resistance from coalition partners.
- Miersch countered that Habeck's initial draft of the law lacked provisions for social compensation and was poorly structured.
- The SPD official emphasized that crucial elements, such as municipal heat planning, were absent from Habeck's proposal and had to be added during parliamentary review.
- Miersch described the original draft as socially insensitive and argued that the SPD worked to address its shortcomings during legislative proceedings.
