Nuclear power against combustion engines - The Franco-German showdown

The agenda looks harmless. It comprises only five points, all of which are described very briefly. "Ukraine" and "internal market" are there, for example. In fact, there should be a lot of arguments when the 27 heads of state and government of the European Union meet in Brussels on Thursday and Friday for their next summit. Not about Ukraine or the single market. But two completely different topics.

At the center of it all: Germany and France. The two states are currently pursuing plans that the other rejects. Berlin fights for the internal combustion engine, Paris for nuclear power. And there could be a showdown at the summit. For an exchange of blows between the most powerful nations of the EU. The two countries, otherwise often referred to as the engine of European integration in a long-worn metaphor, are heading for a conflict.
