René Springer wrote that 500 million euros in child benefits flow abroad each year. He has been demanding that the payments be adjusted to the cost of living in the respective countries for nine years. The federal government knows that there is no majority for this in Europe; Bulgaria, Poland, and other countries blocked the change because they benefited from it, he explained. Springer advocated for making the adjustment in Germany, even if Europe were to sue against it. Such a legal dispute would show citizens that the EU was taking away their sovereignty over the use of their tax money, he wrote. #Kindergeld #Deutschland #EU (translated)
