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)

Sahra Wagenknecht accused Friedrich Merz of losing touch with reality and called it absurd to refer to the planned reforms as a "justice program." According to polls, 80 percent of citizens rightly considered the reforms unjust, she wrote. Wagenknecht rejected Merz's statement that no euro for Ukraine was missing from social systems. She claimed that Merz was retrieving the money for the Ukraine aid through cuts in nursing, pensions, and health from the citizens. At the same time, she welcomed the fact that the state parliament in Saxony-Anhalt had approved a peace proposal that day. She wrote that Merz was making politics against his own people and was a burden for the country. #Politik #Reformen #Deutschland (translated)
Steffan Nethe honored the mayors Marco Jahns from Grimmen and Thomas Pauketat from Sundhagen for having left the CDU. He wrote that their statements showed they could no longer identify with the political course of the party and that the CDU was also losing its own members. Nethe cited the ongoing de-industrialization, the worst financial crisis of municipalities since World War II, a loss of control over internal security, and the ignoring of the voters' will as reasons. He also criticized that taxpayer money was being spent abroad, while in his opinion it was needed domestically for municipalities, care, and pensions. Nethe described the dual exit in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as an alarming sign. He wrote that the CDU had lost touch with reality and with its voters. #CDU #Kommunalpolitik #MecklenburgVorpommern (translated)
