The Minister of finance Mirko Firnt, from the Liberal party, has commented on the Bahn 2030 project: “The project presented by several ministers recently is a very brave one. The most important issue is the financing. We have to ensure that Eflad doesn’t reach a point of debt overload. The “Bahn 2030” project idea is still subject to the Etat [i.e. the Budget]. They will have to compete for the funds same as anyone else. Money doesn’t grow on trees, sorry if that is a wake up call.” The speech then shifted to the ideological aspect, with the minister saying: “We shouldn’t forget what the Greens called for after the trimester meeting: an effective ban on new highways and de facto cars. This Bahn 2030 cannot and should not defect the automobile industry in Eflad. We have to ensure that Eflad stays open to new technology and this means fossile fuel powered cars as well. If we give e-Fuel just a bit more time, a radical change will not be necessary.” Several political figures, prominently the head of the DU, have called for new elections citin arguments within the coalition and the PM being very silent on these matters.
