The AfD faction in the German Bundestag referred to the 171st tax estimate. According to this, the federal government, states, and municipalities should collect more than one trillion euros in 2027 for the first time: 1,044.2 billion euros. For the federal government, the estimators expected around 4.1 billion euros more than in May. At the same time, Federal Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) stated that there would be no new financial leeway in 2027. The budget policy spokesman for the faction, Dr. Michael Espendiller, criticized that the federal government was planning to incur more than 200 billion euros in new debt despite the additional income for 2027. He said the estimate predicted around 43 billion euros in additional tax revenues for the years 2026 to 2030 compared to May. Of this, 22.9 billion euros should flow to the EU; for the federal government, 3.3 billion euros would come in the same period, while its payments to the EU were 15.1 billion euros higher than previously assumed. Espendiller called for a reduction in the EU budget and for the funds to be used domestically for tax cuts and to curb debt. The financial policy spokesman for the faction, Kay Gottschalk, said that nothing would be left for the citizens despite the additional revenue. He accused Friedrich Merz and Lars Klingbeil of not wanting to relieve the population and called for tax reform, spending cuts, and more disposable income for the people. He also demanded relief for the middle class and reliable framework conditions for the economy. #SteuerReform #Haushaltspolitik #Wirtschaftspolitik (translated)

The AfD parliamentary group in the German Bundestag raised several questions in connection with their application "Costs and Benefits of Immigration". They asked why, according to their representation, 6 billion euros were paid annually as citizen money to Ukrainians, while support for those requiring care with care level 1 was to be cut to 131 euros. In addition, the group referred to what they believed were indebted municipalities, higher taxes on tobacco and alcohol, as well as planned new levies on sugar and packaging. They asked why immigration had been presented as a means to combat the skilled worker shortage for ten years, even though after seven million additional foreigners there were more skilled workers missing than before. They also contrasted the statement that immigrants stabilize the pension system with plans to abolish the pension without deductions after 45 years of work and raise the retirement age to 70 years. #Zuwanderung #Pflege #Rente (translated)

René Springer, the labor and social policy spokesperson for the AfD faction, expressed his condolences to Bärbel Bas and her family after the death of a family member and wished her strength and time to process the loss. The AfD faction has often represented fundamentally different positions in labor and social policy and has had harsh confrontations with Bas. He even demanded her dismissal as Minister and continues to stand by this political assessment, wrote Springer. At the same time, political opposition should not obscure the view of the person behind the office. Bas' decision to withdraw from the front row of politics during this difficult phase of life deserves respect. #Mitgefühl #Politik #Verlust (translated)

The AfD faction in the German Bundestag wrote that Anna Rathert, Member of the Bundestag, sharply criticized the Merz-CDU.
