Regeringen tøver med ny hjælpepakke til brændstofpriser

Den tyske forbundsregering kæmper med en ny pakke, der skal håndtere de høje brændstofpriser. Den første række tiltag havde ingen effekt, og priserne på benzin og diesel er steget yderligere. En ny lov kan være på vej i næste uge.

I Berlin har påsken været langt fra stille for den føderale regering. Den første hjælpepakke mod de høje brændstofpriser løb ud i sandet, mens benzin- og dieselpriserne er steget yderligere. En våbenhvile i Iran har indtil videre kun givet begrænset lettelse.

Regeringskilder antyder, at der er behov for stærkere indgreb. En ny lov kan blive iværksat allerede i næste uge. Merz, Klingbeil og Reiche sigter efter tiltag, men har forskellige holdninger. Håbet er knyttet til én bestemt handling.
