The increased prices for petrol, heating oil and gas have long since become a political issue. France responded. Prime Minister Jean Castex announced one-off payments. What can and what must a traffic light coalition do to relieve the citizens?

In that case, he could even imagine more than in France: “That can also be more than 100 euros for it.” The taxpayers’ association urges politicians to act now to relieve the citizens. “That is only fair because state taxes make up the majority of the price of gasoline,” President Reiner Holznagel told the FAZ.
