FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) – “Frankfurter Rundschau” on the draft budget of the traffic light coalition:
“The traffic light coalition failed to meet its own standards when drafting the budget and didn’t dare to make any more progress. It’s investing too little to meet the challenges. A little bit of a lot, but almost nothing enough. That’s not going to happen with climate protection, the framework conditions for a competitive economy, poverty reduction or educational equity digitalization or modern infrastructure, not to mention. Of course, the tripartite alliance could no longer spend as much after the costs of the corona pandemic, compensation for the energy crisis or the special fund for the armed forces. But she shouldn’t have implemented the debt brake so slavishly for that reason. It also weighs heavily that no idea can be seen and once again no one explains where the SPD, Greens and FDP want to go, where the priorities lie. More disputes are to be expected – for example with basic child security or parental allowance. That’s neither green, social nor liberal.”/zz/DP/ngu
