Regeringen dröjer med nytt stödpaket för bränslepriser

Den tyska förbundsregeringen kämpar med ett nytt paket för att hantera de höga bränslepriserna. Den första uppsättningen åtgärder fick ingen effekt, och priserna på bensin och diesel har stigit ytterligare. En ny lag kan komma redan nästa vecka.

I Berlin var påskhelgen långt ifrån lugn för den federala regeringen. Det första stödpaketet mot de höga bränslepriserna rann ut i sanden, medan priserna på bensin och diesel fortsatte att stiga. Ett eldupphör i Iran har hittills gett liten lättnad.

Regeringskretsar indikerar att kraftfullare åtgärder krävs. En ny lag kan initieras så tidigt som nästa vecka. Merz, Klingbeil och Reiche siktar på åtgärder men har skilda åsikter. Hopp finns endast för en specifik åtgärd.
