> I can only personally apologize to all other EU nations. A party with about 5% popularity is holding our government hostage.
I can relate; we have the same in Norway, but I don't see it as a bad thing. Sure, it's an annoyance, but I would rather have those 5% a voice than none at all. Or else we'll run into the problem of having a few parties having too much power.
You are also right that this is just _today_; people change their mind, and it's a long time until 2035.
For the article itself:
Set aside the fantastical tabloid headline, it's important to notice that: "In a reversal that stunned many EU insiders, the German government decided to push for a loophole that would allow the sale of combustion engine cars beyond the 2035 deadline — as long as they run on synthetic fuels."
So, keep the combustion engine, but make it env-friendly.
I don't see a problem with it.
