Electricity tax, pension, citizen's money - the second coalition committee should be talking about high sums. After about five hours the result was available. Hard criticism is not long in coming.
After days of debate, further reductions in electricity taxes in Germany are initially off the table. The black-red coalition committee did not bring a breakthrough. Until new money is there, there could be no advantages for private households.
The reduction of electricity costs has become an exciting topic. Union and SPD are under pressure. What has the coalition committee achieved?
The leaders of the Union and SPD have not reached an agreement on a reduction in the electricity tax for households and other companies in the coalition committee after about five hours of discussions.
The coalition's leaders hold more than five hours in the chancellor's office, but an agreement on the most controversial issue is not possible. The problem is that it takes more than five billion euros for funding. There is more clarity in the plan for a large pension package.
It is the first big nail test for the black-red coalition: Can it agree on the electricity tax, or does it fall back in traffic lights that it wanted to overcome?
