SPD-fraktion advarer mod flade nedskæringer i forældreorlovsydelsen

SPD's parlamentsgruppe har modsat sig flade nedskæringer i forældreorlovsydelsen (Elterngeld). Familieminister Karin Prien fra CDU står over for et pres for at spare 500 millioner euro.

Næstformand for SPD, Dagmar Schmidt, udtalte, at familiepolitikken skal forblive pålidelig og ikke må tjene som en hurtig løsning på kortsigtede budgetkonsolideringer. Finansminister Lars Klingbeil har beordret Priens ministerium til at skære i udgifterne. Elterngeld, med et budget på 7,5 milliarder euro, er den største post. Budgettet for 2027 forudser allerede 350 millioner euro mindre, men finansministeriet tvivler på, at demografiske ændringer alene vil kunne levere det fulde beløb. CDU's generalsekretær Carsten Linnemann advarede: "Hold fingrene fra forældreorlovsydelsen!" SPD-medlemmer betragter dette som et angreb på Klingbeil. Johannes Winkel fra Junge Union kritiserede manglen på inflationsregulering af Elterngeld siden 2007.
