Hamburg/Helgoland (dpa -AfX) – Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder categorically rejects the tax increases for rich tax increases in the game and also considered possible by parts of the Union. “We have a clear coalition agreement, which means ‘no tax increase’,” said the CSU chairman during his trip to Germany’s only mean that Helgoland.

It would now be a completely wrong signal in economic weakness in new US tariffs to increase taxes. “This is always an old idea from the socialist moth box that doesn’t work. If so, then we have to reduce the tax.” Tax increases are a snap idea, “does not come with us,” emphasized Söder.

Rather, the expenditure would have to be shortened. “The citizens’ allowance is always growing with over 50 billion euros,” said Söder. You can save massively. The second is the “crazy heating law”, said Söder and referred to 17 billion euros for heat pumps. “You can take half away.” Then it will be very important to look at development aid. It could not be that countries received development aid that their own citizens do not take back, even though they had illegally entered Germany. In addition, the migration costs in Germany would have to be reduced.

However, he described the start of the new coalition in Berlin better than many. “The judge’s election was not nice now, but not really relevant. There will be a new choice,” said Söder, referring to the recent dispute over the occupation of judges’ posts from the Federal Constitutional Court. They also continued with compulsory military service and security. There would also be billions of investments./klm/dp/stw
