Munich (dpa / lby) - Bavaria's Social Affairs Minister Ulrike Scharf and Transport Minister Christian Bernreiter (both CSU) have criticized the federal government's relief package. In the case of the successor to the 9-euro ticket, the federal government wants to shift most of the financial burden onto the federal states. "She just throws a number into the room and leaves it completely open how the relief is to be implemented," said Bernreiter on Sunday. Commuters who depend on the car got nothing: "The rural area obviously doesn't play a role at the traffic light."
Labor and Social Affairs Minister Scharf criticized the basic income as an ideologically driven step on the way to an unconditional basic income. "With the citizens' allowance, we give up the principle of promoting and demanding almost completely," she said. The announced one-off payments for pensioners and students would come too late and would also have to be taxed.
