Germany’s incoming government unveils plans to legalize cannabis and phase out coal

The new government plans to phase-out of coal by 2030 – eight years earlier than Merkel’s party’s previous 2038 target. On Wednesday, Scholz told reporters that mandatory vaccinations will be considered by the new coalition because “vaccination is the way out of this pandemic.” Case numbers are particularly dire in Germany’s eastern states where health officials have warned overstretched hospitals could soon run out of beds for intensive care patients.
