Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Schwesig calls for a gas price brake for private households

Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) has already called for the gas price brake for private households and small companies from January. "If that's not possible, there must be a bridge for January and February," Schwesig told the editorial network Germany. This should be discussed at the prime ministers' conference in Hanover this Thursday. Citizens and companies "urgently" need relief in energy prices.

So far, there is talk of relieving the industry from January 1st with a gas price brake. For private households and small companies, it should only apply from March. However, the state should take over the December discount.

On Chancellor Olaf Scholz's (SPD) word of power in the traffic light nuclear dispute, Schwesig told the editorial network that it was good that the Chancellor had ended the week-long dispute between the Greens and the FDP with a clear decision. "Our goal remains to get out of nuclear power. But in the energy crisis, security of supply has absolute priority in the coming winter."People needed electricity and heat.
