While the traffic light coalition in Germany wants to further increase the CO2 tax next year, the right-wing populist alternative for Germany has completely different plans. She wants to completely abolish the pricing of CO2 emissions. A Green MP responded to a corresponding motion in the Bundestag with an insulting poem.
Felix Banaszak walked to the lectern and recited the following lines: “Who taxes the Bundestag so late? It’s the faction that no one likes. She makes a request that you cannot escape. We reject it – yes, whatever.” He then wished his fellow MPs “a nice evening” and returned to his seat.
Will there be more rhymes in the climate protection committee?
The performance caused laughter and much applause. There were also compliments from Deputy Speaker of Parliament Aydan Özoğuz for not exceeding the maximum speaking time. “I am not allowed to comment on the content,” she said.
The AfD motion was rejected during the plenary meeting. But he hasn’t completely failed yet. The Climate Protection Committee must now deal with this. Maybe the rhyming continues there.
