Sahra Wagenknecht wrote that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky demanded an additional 70 billion euros for the coming year at the recent EU summit, on top of the already promised 90 billion euros. Chancellor Friedrich Merz also advocated for higher payments to Ukraine, she criticized. Germany has already spent more than 100 billion euros on the war; moreover, the German taxpayer must bear a significant portion of the EU payments. Wagenknecht pointed out that other countries, especially the USA, have largely halted their payments. Wagenknecht described Merz's statement in his recent government declaration that no euro for Ukraine is missing in the German social systems as nonsensical. She claimed that the costs would ultimately be passed on to citizens through cuts in care, pensions, and health, and accused Merz of making policies against his own population. She called for his resignation. #Steuern #Euro (translated)
