Grass fears an "eco-dictatorship" in the aftermath of Fukushima

Hamburg. Günter Grass .- fears that the nuclear disaster in Japan and other environmental issues arising in establishing an "eco-dictatorship", he told the German Nobel literature in an interview published today. What happened at the Fukushima nuclear plant is not the only problem: they are also "the exhaustion of resources, the end of growth, globalization, water scarcity ...

and all that is just as important," said the writer 83-year newspaper Hamburger Abendblatt. "My worst fear is that we end up setting up an eco-dictatorship. We would then have to live with a state of emergency regulations," said the author of The Tin Drum. Grass also launched a furious criticism from pro-nuclear policy followed in Germany by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) Angela Merkel and her junior partner in government, the Liberal Party (FDP).

"What we have today was negotiated by Mrs. Merkel, the CDU and the FDP with the nuclear lobby. And against the protests of citizens," he lamented. On a more literary, Grass said to have been "empty issues" after his most recent book, Grimms Wörter. Eine Liebeserklärung (Remarks by Grimm.

A declaration of love). "So, now draw," he said. "I do etchings on a novel published 50 years ago, Dog Years."
