Habeck puts pressure on Lindner: “I won’t allow it”

“I hope we in the federal government can clarify this,” Habeck said in a video message for the Southwestern Green Party conference in Donaueschingen on Sunday. “If we didn’t, it would make us say: we will leave the companies alone. And as a minister of the economy, I will not allow it. We will not leave the companies alone, not at this time, not in Germany. “

Habeck wants to “slow down” the recession with a double-digit billion

Habeck wants to take about one million small and medium-sized businesses like bakers as part of the bailout package. The additional costs are estimated in the tens of billions. The measure also serves the objective of “slowing down” the recession, the minister said.

Verdi leader Ricada Lang previously said in Donaueschingen: “You can’t save yourself from a crisis like this.” The economic core of Germany must not be endangered, the companies threatened by the crisis must be helped as planned by Habeck.

Long to Lindner: “Let’s save these companies now”

Lang told Lindner, “So let’s save these companies now. So let’s put this money in our hands now.” He stressed that climate protection should not get lost in the crisis. “In the transport sector we are further away from our climate goals.” Here, too, the FDP must move. Lang called for a “yes to a temporary speed limit” until the country was independent of Russian energies.

Furthermore, the FDP must make possible more investments in the railway sector. “We can no longer afford opponents in government offices,” Lang said. The federal states need more regionalization funds for railway expansion. It is fine if there is a successor to the 9 euro ticket, but it is more important that there are also the railways, especially in rural areas.
