Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - In the debate about the future of the car, CDU top candidate Susanne Eisenmann has spoken out against a quick end to the internal combustion engine.
"The swan song is not mine," said Eisenmann on Monday evening during a discussion with Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann, which was organized by the "Stuttgarter Zeitung".
It is important to achieve the planned climate goals.
«Only I don't have to tear everything down on the way there.
That's way too fast and too poorly thought out for me. "
The fixation of the Greens on the electric car is too tight for her.
Eisenmann was reacting to Kretschmann's statement, who had previously said about the combustion engine: "This is most likely a discontinued model for cars."
The CDU politician said that one had to pay very close attention to how jobs in the transformation process in the auto industry could be transferred into the future.
Eisenmann did not like Kretschmann's idea that a number of jobs could be transferred to the health industry.
That is «drawing board economic policy».
She pointed out that one must also consider the social issue in climate policy.
"You can't tell people that you're going to buy a new car."
It cannot just be the yardstick for what makes ecological sense.
“I also have to see what it costs, how can people still afford it.
It is important to think about the social question, "said Eisenmann in the final sprint to the state election next Sunday.
