Unsuitable for the Kulturkampf: Cargo bike debate thrives on popcorn factor – politics

The most recent chunk of currywurst, Wolfsburg-design and style, has just been digested as the future discussion is brewing around the corner: it can be about the matter of cargo bikes.

In any situation, a billion euros would be put in in the stop, and which is plenty of to result in the most enjoyment. Christian Dürr, vice-chairman of the FDP parliamentary team, talks about “buyer plan”.

“We will not preserve the environment local climate by subsidizing cargo bikes in Berlin-Kreuzberg,” states Dürr, forgetting only to point out that the normal Kreuzberg girl rides her cargo bicycle through city website traffic when owning a soy latte at the Very same time.

The chief of the still left-wing parliamentary group, Amira Mohamed Ali, tells the “earth” that cargo bikes “would rarely aid any individual” in rural regions. And CDU general secretary Paul Ziemiak writes on Twitter that the Greens’ proposals are starting to be “ever more absurd and unworldly.”
