FDP plans for economic turnaround: criticism and demands
The FDP's twelve-point paper provides measures to initiate an economic turnaround in Germany. Among other things, it is proposed that citizens' benefits be reduced by 30 percent or even completely eliminated if citizens refuse reasonable work or further training. In addition, the pension at 63 should be abolished, companies that employ older people should be relieved, and overtime should be taxed.
The FDP also demands that renewable energies should no longer be subsidized by the state, but rather be left to the market. On the corporate side, measures are planned to reduce bureaucracy, and the solidarity surcharge is to be completely abolished for investors and high earners.
The SPD expressed criticism of the FDP's plans and rejected them as out of date. CDU General Secretary Linnemann called on the FDP to either implement measures or withdraw from the traffic light coalition. According to him, the current disagreement and lack of willingness to act among the coalition partners are causing people's trust in politics to dwindle.
The discussion about the FDP's twelve-point paper reflects the tensions within the traffic light coalition and shows the different views regarding economic and social policy in Germany. The demands for tax relief, fair performance and reduction of state funding illustrate the complex challenges and interests in the political discourse.
