I&#8217;m sorry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Blume was reacting to an article in the ZDF satirical magazine &#8220;Die Anstalt&#8221;, according to which the designated VW boss is said to have told employees at a works meeting on June 29 that Porsche played a very large part in the further use of synthetic fuels ( e-fuels) for combustion engines was included in the coalition agreement. &#8220;We were the main drivers there, with very close contact to the coalition parties. Christian Lindner has kept me up to date almost every hour in the last few days,&#8221; Blume was quoted as saying.<\/p>\n<p>A Porsche spokesman told the newspaper: &#8220;During an internal event in June, the wording was exaggerated, and we apologize for that.&#8221; The choice of words does not correspond to the facts. The exchange did not take place and there was no influence. The spokesman did not provide any information on Blume&#8217;s exact choice of words.<\/p>\n<h3>FDP rejects allegations of exchange<\/h3>\n<p>The FDP had also rejected allegations that party leader Lindner was said to have had close exchanges with Blume on the issue of dealing with synthetic fuels. Lindner&#8217;s position on so-called e-fuels has been &#8220;known for years&#8221; and dates back to the FDP&#8217;s time in opposition, a party spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding contact with Porsche boss Blume, he explained that &#8220;in October 2021 there was only a short phone call between Mr. Blume and Mr. Lindner on questions about the use of e-fuels&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h3>ZDF: Evidence for Blume&#8217;s statements<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of June, there was a dispute within the traffic light coalition about a ban on new registrations of combustion cars from 2035 at EU level. Lindner had rejected the ban plans.<\/p>\n<p>The FDP stated that before this decision there had been &#8220;no contact whatsoever with Mr. Blume&#8221;. ZDF had previously announced that there was verified evidence for Blume&#8217;s statements.<\/p>\n<p>In the coalition agreement, the SPD, Greens and FDP agreed, in line with the plans of the EU Commission, that only CO2-neutral vehicles should be registered from 2035. Unlike the Brussels authorities, however, the traffic light wants to ensure that this does not mean a complete ban on combustion engines: &#8220;Verifiably only vehicles that can be refueled with e-fuels&#8221; should be able to be re-registered for a longer period of time.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/928-as-restomod-by-nardone-return-of-a-porsche-legend\/\" title=\"928 as Restomod by Nardone: Return of a Porsche legend\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">928 as Restomod by Nardone: Return of a Porsche legend<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/delivery-bottleneck-porsche-has-to-interrupt-production-in-leipzig\/\" title=\"Delivery bottleneck: Porsche has to interrupt production in Leipzig\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Delivery bottleneck: Porsche has to interrupt production in Leipzig<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And the FDP also rejected the allegations. \/ Porsche boss apologizes Porsche boss Oliver Blume has apologized for statements about an allegedly close exchange with FDP boss Christian Lindner during the traffic light coalition negotiations. &#8220;I chose the wrong words in an internal event,&#8221; said Blume of &#8220;Bild am Sonntag&#8221;. &#8220;It gave the wrong impression. &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":71979,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[96],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-71978","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-automobile"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71978","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/29"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71978"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71978\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71978"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71978"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.nationalturk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71978"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
