According to Robert Habeck, the Green Party's candidate for Chancellor, the steel industry has no future in Germany with the concepts of the Union.
CDU leader Friedrich Merz does not believe in green steel. "This statement is a slap in the face of all the employees," said Habeck on Tuesday in Berlin at the annual kick-off meeting of the extended board of the Green parliamentary group. Steel production in Germany would then be phased out. According to Habeck, there will be no chance of steel produced with coal in the 2030s on the world market.
