I don’t know if the 2nd article was written after the CO2 tax announcement or before.

The “French” CO2 tax could be exactly what the FDP needs to agree on a German climate progress.

Are aviation and marine included in the French CO2 tax?

This picture seems to be from 2013. In Thüringen ist the Linke leader of the coalition, not the CDU.

But on transport? Neither the FDP nor the Greens should on paper be friends of bailing out German carmakers by say blocking city bans on polluting vehicles such as diesels.

Nordrhein-Westfalen has a CDU-FDP government and Schleswig-Holstein has a Jamaica coalition.
