Viersen (dpa / lnw) - Thomas Kutschaty, party and faction leader of the NRW-SPD, has called for a protective shield for public utilities. In this way one can secure the energy supply and absorb payment defaults, said Kuchaty late on Saturday afternoon at the state association day from Haus
Kuschaty, who is also the federal vice president of his party, also addressed another measure before the association of private landlords: "Secondly, after the electricity price brake, there will also have to be a gas price brake - whether at European or national level." The politician referred to Great Britain, where there should be an energy price cap for households, among other things. The British government will have to pay tens of billions of pounds for this.
In this context, Kuschaty questioned the German debt brake. Companies must now be saved and jobs secured: "Avoiding budget deficits is not a priority for me."
