High inflation: Green faction leader: More relief for low earners

Green party leader Haßelmann insists on relief, especially for people who already have little or no financial leeway. The SPD is also in favor of help – and the FDP?

Green party leader Britta Haßelmann insists on further relief, especially for low earners, in view of the inflation.

“We will also have to address the difficult situation caused by increased fossil energy prices politically beyond the relief measures that have already been decided,” she told the newspapers of the Funke media group. “For me, that means supporting people in particular who already have very little or no financial leeway. They need the relief, for example in basic security, most urgently. » It is about “structural measures” for them.

Haßelmann added: “And at the same time, as a state, we must be able to continue investing in infrastructure and measures against the climate crisis in order to get out of fossil inflation and not be worse off tomorrow than today.”

SPD leader Lars Klingbeil had previously spoken out in favor of relief for pensioners. SPD faction leader Rolf Mützenich suggested special payments to employees to secure their livelihood. However, this proposal was already very skeptically commented on by FDP Vice Wolfgang Kubicki. Federal Finance Minister Christian Lindner said: “Further relief measures would have to move within the framework of the debt brake.”
