A prime minister pushing away a big problem; a finance minister who brakes; and the Free Voters, who finally want clarity: This is the situation in Bavaria when it comes to the railways. Only two things are clear at the moment: there is currently a lack of money for more train connections and for a better railway in general, i.e. for a traffic turnaround that is not just on paper. And (pen)friends for life will no longer be Florian Striebl, leader of the Free Voters parliamentary group in the state parliament, and Finance Minister Albert Füracker from the CSU.
