Taxes: traffic light coalition argues about debt brake

After the announcement of further relief for energy consumers by Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), the coalition is arguing about how to deal with the debt brake. Labor Minister Hubertus Heil is making the planned return to the debt brake from 2023 subject to the economic situation. "If we slide into a massive recession, the question of whether the debt brake should be observed must be reassessed in the coalition," said the SPD politician of the OM media group. The Greens also have doubts about the return to the debt brake.
