- Leaders of the three-party coalition convened a late-night crisis meeting on Thursday (13 October) to discuss extending the life of several nuclear power plants amid fears of ever-dwindling energy imports from Russia.
- The aim was to find a solution to the current standoff within the coalition as, despite Scholz’s insistence that the coalition will solve this dispute, time is running out.
- Besides the Bavarian plant, the government should also decide on the fates of the other two remaining plants in German, the Neckarwestheim 2 plant in Baden-Wurttemberg and Emsland in Lower Saxony.
