“If, for example, Germany is already discussing the extension of nuclear and coal-fired power plants in order to bridge states of emergency, then I think we are well advised to postpone new burdens that are planned for as long as we have to,” said Stelzer in one newspaper interview on Sunday.
From the current perspective, the government’s measures to cushion inflation would be sufficient, “but if there is no relaxation, there will have to be further steps,” said Stelzer. “It should be clear in early summer whether this is necessary.”
Regarding the plans of Chancellor Karl Nehammer (ÖVP), who wants to skim off inflation profits from companies, Stelzer said that one should seek advice from experts. “What is enforceable, what under stock corporation law? But above all: What is particularly popular with people?”
