That is also not the case. Merkel never actually stopped the phase-out, her administration just extended the running times. The phase-out always remained in place, and for example to prohibition against building new nuclear plants was never touched.
Nope, that is actually not true.

It wasn't just "formulated" it was passed into law in 2002 by the red-green coalition led by Schröder.
It was never stopped/rescinded.
