Federal Finance Minister and SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz has sharply criticized the Union’s tax cut plans. In view of the corona-related accumulated debts, these did not fit in with the times and especially favor companies and high earners. “The CDU / CSU program is not only unfinanced, but from my point of view also immoral”, said Scholz on Monday evening at a citizens’ forum in Wismar (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). Around 150 people accepted the SPD’s invitation.
