President Frank-Walter Steinmeier signed the amendment to the Climate Protection Act (KSG) on Monday. As announced, five German environmental associations are now responding by filing a total of three constitutional complaints against the new version of the KSG. The Bundestag had already passed the amendment to the Act at the end of April. The examination by the Federal President’s Office took an unusually long time. For the environmental organization BUND, the Federal President is legitimizing a „breach of the law“ with his signature.
