Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

He calls for “more calm in the partly hysteric diesel debate” because the air quality has improved in most European cities over recent years. Steltzner writes driving bans for new cars would be a “disaster for a large majority of the population,” even if they would make environmental activists cheer. “What should millions of commuters do? Quit their job or move into the city?”
