Germany's federal government is struggling with a new package to address high fuel prices. The first set of measures had no effect, and petrol and diesel prices rose further. A new law could follow next week.
In Berlin, the Easter period was far from quiet for the federal government. Its first relief package against high fuel prices fizzled out, while petrol and diesel prices increased further. A ceasefire in Iran has provided little relief so far.
Government circles indicate that stronger action is needed. A new law could be initiated as early as next week. Merz, Klingbeil, and Reiche aim for measures but hold differing views. Hope exists only for one specific action.
