Le Bundesrat rejette le projet de prime de secours

Le Bundesrat a refusé aujourd'hui d'approuver la prime de secours défiscalisée pouvant atteindre 1 000 euros. Cette décision bloque une mesure clé du plan de soutien énergétique négocié par l'Union et le SPD.

Les États dirigés par l'Union ont voté contre le projet. Le Mecklembourg-Poméranie-Occidentale, pourtant issu des rangs du SPD, a également refusé son approbation. Les États ont critiqué la mesure, la jugeant inefficace et mal conçue.

Winfried Kretschmann, ministre-président sortant du Bade-Wurtemberg, a déclaré : « Les coûts finiront par retomber sur les États et les municipalités. » La prime, grâce à laquelle les salariés auraient pu recevoir 1 000 euros défiscalisés de la part de leur employeur, ne verra donc pas le jour.

Par ailleurs, la baisse de la taxe sur les carburants n'est pour l'instant pas intégralement répercutée sur les consommateurs par les compagnies pétrolières. Le plan de soutien énergétique négocié en avril risque ainsi de faire long feu.
