There is something to be cut⬇️ In 2025, various discretionary state subsidies amounting to about 4.2 billion euros were granted. The National Coalition Party would cut 200 million euros from these subsidies according to its debt brake program, which is only 4.8%. There were 1,000 applications for subsidies in 2025, and they received 95,000 applications. There are 70 state aid authorities. Just for the administration of state subsidies, 400 person-years are needed. (translated)
