A leading German politician views proposed climate policies as a danger to the country’s civil stability and democracy.
“Ecological Madness”… “Ruinous Retrofitting”
The mood in Germany has become outright ugly as citizens reel from high inflation and fear government policy initiatives that would bankrupt many if enacted. Business sentiment among small to medium companies is souring rapidly. [emphasis, links added]
Among these initiatives is the current green-socialist government’s plan to force citizens and businesses to wean themselves off oil and gas heating already beginning next year.
All the despair now risks morphing into anger and civil unrest, warns one opposition leader.
Uprisings Among The Population
According to the new, rapidly emerging Austrian alternative media news site AUF 1, Saxony’s Minister President Michael Kretschmer of the CDU Christian Democrats warns of potential unrest and vehemently criticized the government’s current climate policy.
Saxony’s Kretschmer even explicitly warned of “uprisings among the population” and that “the government’s new plans would lead to ‘deindustrialization and riots’”, AUF 1 reports. “His criticism was aimed above all at the Building Energy Act pushed by the Green Minister of Economics, Robert Habeck [pictured above].”
Currently, Habeck is sharply under attack for cronyism as his ministry funnels funds and influential positions to friends and family, many of whom are professionally unqualified for the positions.
“Ecological Madness”
AUF 1 reminds us that the proposed government‘s green policies “will force ruinous retrofitting on millions of homeowners” and that many citizens will simply not be able to afford the required renovation of their houses or apartments. Homeowners would face renovation costs of at least tens of thousands of euros.”
Kretschmer called the Greens’ policy “ecological madness”.
The Austrian AUF 1 calls the government’s policies “completely misguided” and that they will lead to “massive relocations of companies away from Germany.”

I’m surprised it has taken this long. We’ve been seeing a start of it in Netherlands by the farmers. It is about time and the average citizen has to vote for politicians who actually understand what the end result will be with a decarbonized society and it ain’t pretty. We in the US are just a few years behind Europe and Australia.
Any time a country that is supposed to be run by democracy is at risk of an up rising, that democracy has failed. Part of the problem of people voting for those who don’t represent their best interest is they are not properly informed due to a biased mainstream media.
The MSM can’t see that energy poverty will hurt them and their children too?
I see pitchforks and torches in their future.
