SPD politician compares "atomic fans" with "vaccine opponents and right-wing radicals"

SPD member of the Bundestag Ralf Stegner reaps massive criticism after a tweet about supporters of nuclear power: inside.

Berlin – While nuclear power plants are gradually being taken off the grid in Germany, the EU is taking a different path. She is considering investing in nuclear power as climate-friendly. That caused a sensation. While Austria was threatening to file a lawsuit, Federal Minister of Economics Robert Habeck (Greens) said: “Labeling nuclear energy of all things as sustainable is wrong with this high-risk technology.”

The SPD member of the Bundestag Ralf Stegner is one of the clear opponents of this EU project. On Twitter, he railed against the nuclear power-friendly plans. But in doing so, the politician drew a comparison that now annoys a number of users.

SPD politician causes a sensation with comparison: nuclear power proponents referred to as right-wing radicals?

The politician had previously commented on the EU plans several times. “If the European Commission wants to establish an eco-label in high-yield sustainability funds with applause from conservatives for gas and nuclear energy, it is not just an outright fraudulent label, it is completely unacceptable,” he emphasized on Twitter. He seemed to face massive headwinds for this, because shortly afterwards the tweet with which the politician is now in the headlines follows:

“Radiated reactions from atomic fans on all social media channels once again impressively confirm everything that I have recently written about it. In terms of content and tone, they are hardly inferior to vaccination opponents, corona deniers and right-wing radicals. “

The reactions followed promptly. While a user simply asks: “Are you still okay?”, Others accuse him of “polemics”. Economist Jan Schnellenbach asks on Twitter: “Has Ralf Stegner just insulted the French government as a corona denier and right-wing radical?” Stegner revised this elsewhere with a clear “no”.

Ralf Stegner reaps harsh criticism after tweet – SPD politician defends himself

In another, the SPD politician defends himself again and emphasizes: “Is it so difficult to read meaningfully? I don’t like the attitude of the French government towards nuclear energy at all, but of course I didn’t (!) Compare it to right-wing extremists. Subterranean social media posts by some nuclear fans, on the other hand, resemble this lousy style. ”In another tweet, he emphasizes that his criticism is only referring to the style of the advocates on social media and not to the advocacy of nuclear energy per se. About nuclear power he would like to passionately discuss with “those who think differently”. (slo)
