NUCLEAR PHASE-OUT: TROJAN HORSE - CDU MANIFESTO, BERLIN - NEWS ACCESS (16:9)

Berlin, 28.6.2009 - Greenpeace activists compare the energy policy of the CDU/CSU (the Union) election programme with a Trojan horse. Before the programme's announcement by chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and CSU party leader Horst Seehofer 30 Greenpeace activists drag a seven meter high horse in front of the Konrad-Adenauer-Haus in Berlin (CDU headquarter). This Trojan horse is filled with nuclear waste barrels.
A banner reads 'Wer Merkel wählt, wählt Atomkraft' (Everyone who votes for Merkel votes for nuclear energy). Whilst the Union promises the voters not to build any new nuclear power stations, many CDU/CSU top politicians openly promote the extension of nuclear energy.
Greenpeace demands to stay with the nuclear phase-out and to support renewable energy much stronger than before.
Statement: Tobias Münchmeyer, Greenpeace Germany nuclear expert.
