In Ethiopia and Kenya, Chancellor Scholz encounters almost all major crises that also characterize his everyday government life in Berlin. From climate catastrophe to war.
Olaf Scholz makes the struck and not Merkel. His predecessor in the Chancellery had interfered in the formation of the government in Thuringia from South Africa in 2020, which even the Federal Constitutional Court did not find legal. Scholz is now in Kenya on Thursday and is being questioned about what is currently the most heated domestic political dispute in Berlin. It’s about the law that should regulate how the Germans have to heat.

More and more voices are calling for changes, even a postponement away from 2024 is being demanded. According to the current status, newly installed heating systems should run on at least 65 percent renewable energy from 2024 onwards. Scholz, who usually likes to avoid a question, does not do that this time. He recalls the former SPD parliamentary group leader Peter Struck, who used to say that no law comes out of the Bundestag the way it went in.
