The traffic light Zoff about the gas levy seems to be over: a chancellor’s press conference is scheduled for the afternoon. The topic: “Current energy supply issues”.
Berlin – After weeks of wrangling, the traffic light coalition has apparently agreed on an alternative to the gas surcharge. This is reported by several media, including mirror and Handelsblatt. What the now targeted solution looks like initially remained open.
Gas surcharge passé? Ampel wants to announce news about “energy supply”.
There could still be clarity in the afternoon: the Federal Chancellery has invited Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) and Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) to a press conference at 2 p.m. The topic: “Current issues of energy supply in Germany”. No further details were given.
According to media reports, the state will limit the price increase for consumers. There is also a solution for the financing, it said. Criticism of the federal government’s lack of activity had recently grown. (dpa/fn)
