Düsseldorf (dpa/lnw) - Despite the energy crisis, the black-green government in North Rhine-Westphalia has "no plans for car-free Sundays", according to Transport Minister Oliver Krischer (Greens). The constitution also does not give the federal states any legislative competence to create a legal basis for road traffic, he explained in a response to an AfD request published in Düsseldorf on Wednesday. The state government is also not aware of any considerations by the federal government on driving bans or car-free Sundays.
The traffic policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, Klaus Esser, also wanted to know whether fuel supply bottlenecks were foreseeable for NRW this winter. Krischer replied that security of supply for mineral oil in Germany was primarily the responsibility of the Federal Minister of Economics. "From there, the state government has not become aware of any foreseeable bottlenecks in the fuel supply with petrol and diesel."
A "gas-oil emergency plan for NRW" requested by the AfD is not available because such an overall document could not do justice to the "diversity and complex interdependence of EU, federal, state and of course municipal tasks in emergency situations". the minister.
