Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

The CDU wants to cut photovoltaics feed-in rates, that much is already clear.

the rights of the German labourer and the privatisation of further public services

On this front, I wonder just how much hypocrisy the CSU will allow itself. (My guess: an incredible amount...)

As we figured earlier, any major changes to the renewable energies law will have to go through the Landestag. Solar can bear a further cut as long as it's negotiated with the sector (and not a post-hoc cut on the existing capacity).

The CSU, at least, would also have to be hypocritical (and against the long-term interests of Bavaria) to go along with the CDU and FDP without objection.

My guess is that labour law will be up first, selling off the Deutsche Bahn afterwards (but they need a 'favourable market environment' for that). Plus the extention of the running time of the nuclear plants, they should try to get that in early, too.

Bundesrat, you meant. Ah, I forgot about that, even though IIRC I dug it up...

But it will be funny (funny in a dark sense) if they want to play protector of the people against the FDP while their own little neolib is making policy as economy minister.

On the other hand, the regional parliaments have relevance when it comes to zoning laws. So NRW will be crucial.
