There are said to be some Free Voter politicians who hope that their party leader Hubert Aiwanger will at least tone down his populist tone somewhat at the start of the new electoral term. But so far there is nothing to indicate this. On the contrary. When Economics and Energy Minister Aiwanger presented Bavaria’s demand for another electricity highway from northern Germany to the Free State after the cabinet meeting on Tuesday, he suddenly attacked the President of the Federal Network Agency, Klaus Müller, personally. Müller is a “green party supporter,” Aiwanger said, “and he may have a different idea on many issues than the Free State of Bavaria has.” The reason for the attack: So far, neither the network operators nor the Federal Network Agency clearly see any actual need for another electricity highway to Bavaria.
Energy policy: Aiwanger and the new love for the electricity highways – Bavaria
