Budget verdict: Union calls for a stop to basic child welfare
The Union parliamentary group’s budget spokesman, Christian Haase, has called on the federal government to cancel “ideological projects” in light of the Federal Constitutional Court’s budget ruling. “One example is basic child welfare,” said the CDU politician on Deutschlandfunk. Anyone who is already entitled to benefits should receive them, said Haase. But in addition to building a “bureaucratic monster” like that Basic child protection, is not the right way. He sees further potential for savings in citizens’ money and the heating law.
The Federal Constitutional Court had conceded the reallocation of 60 billion euros from Corona loans in favor of a fund from which measures for climate protection and the transformation of the economy are to be financed.
Haase also made it clear that there are very important projects in the so-called Climate and Transformation Fund (KTF) that must be continued beyond the legislative period. “Because we all know that investments in the economy only occur when the framework conditions are stable,” said the CDU politician.
