German CDU did similar bullshit.

They cut funding in renewables, costing those sectors >100k jobs to protect around 20k jobs.

One might think it wasn't about jobs at all, but that sweet sweet lobby money

Hey you forgot we were also leaders in those fields technology wise. And iirc they only protected only 10k jobs.

Leaders in lobbyism cough~~legal bribery~~cough?

Yeah i think the 20k was an estimate of a total of jobs in the affected sector, not all of which would be cut? I'd have to look into the source again but yeah, it was pretty clearly cxu bullshit.

No actual leaders our solar panel industry was quite good afaik. And of of the day it doesnt matter if it was a 5:1 or 10:1 ratio bullshit is bullshit. And if you want to have high blood pressure look up who of the NRW Landtag espacially CDU has a job at RWE.
