Die Grünen fordern zur Bekämpfung der steigenden Energiepreise eine Energiepauschale von bis zu 250 Euro pro Kopf. Das ergibt sich aus einem Aktionsplan, aus dem das Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland am Mittwoch zitierte. „Wir wollen ihnen sozial gestaffelt eine Energiepauschale von bis zu 250 Euro auszahlen – finanziert aus den übermäßigen Milliardengewinnen der fossilen Konzerne“, heißt es in dem Papier.

„Die Sprit-Inflation schadet uns und unserer Wirtschaft“, schreiben die Grünen weiter. „Mit einer Übergewinnsteuer schöpfen wir die Krisengewinne ab. Es geht um zweistellige Milliardenbeträge, die wir als Energiepauschale zurückgeben können.“

Drittens machen sich die Grünen für höhere staatliche Prämien beim Erwerb von Elektroautos stark. „Mit einer erhöhten E-Auto-Prämie erleichtern wir den Umstieg“, schreiben sie. „Förderung bekommen die, die sie brauchen – plus 1000 Euro Umstiegs-Bonus on top für Menschen mit kleinem Einkommen.“ Davon solle der Erwerb von Autos aus chinesischer Produktion allerdings ausgenommen sein.

Open Questions

  • Wie hoch soll die Übergewinnsteuer genau ausfallen?
  • Welche Unternehmen gelten als fossile Konzerne?
  • Wie wird der Einkommensnachweis für den Umstiegsbonus erfolgen?
  • Wann soll der Aktionsplan umgesetzt werden?

AfD remains the strongest force in MV, but its lead is fading - SPD is catching up

In the latest Insa survey for “Bild”, the AfD is ahead with 37 percent, but continues to lose ground to the SPD, which has 35 percent. The Left falls to ten percent, the CDU remains at seven percent, the Greens at five percent and BSW at three percent. A sole AfD government would not be possible, nor would a coalition between the SPD and the Left. If the Greens return, a red-red-green option would be conceivable. Less than a quarter of those surveyed would like to see the CDU with Daniel Peters in government.

Berlin before the election: housing shortages, cleanliness and political uncertainty determine the election campaign

Before the state elections in Berlin, the focus is on issues such as affordable housing, garbage problems, homelessness and a sense of security. While parties debate solutions such as free bulky waste collection, packaging tax or expropriations, improvements in citizens' offices and dog excrement regulations are showing initial success. The BER airport and school construction are making progress, but the housing market remains tense. The CDU is sending Stefan Evers into the race as the top candidate, while the Left could become the strongest force with Elif Eralp, according to surveys.

The vote in the House of Representatives is scheduled to take place this week, despite slim chances of success due to the Republican majority. The timing is sensitive for the party as it comes just before the midterms and wants to avoid intra-party tensions.

FBI chief Patel defends controversial new hiring rules

FBI Director Kash Patel defended changes to federal law enforcement hiring rules before a U.S. Senate committee. This means applicants who have been involved in prostitution or sexual acts with animals in the past may still be considered for FBI positions under certain circumstances. Patel said the changes were specifically intended to prevent victims of human trafficking or forced sexual acts from being automatically disqualified from applying.

Iran war costs Pentagon $38.1 billion in five months

The US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates the cost of the Iran war to the Pentagon at $38.1 billion in the first five months, including ammunition replacement and higher fuel costs. The report warns of continued inflationary pressures from disrupted oil and gas supplies and a long-term weakening of US ammunition stocks as the House of Representatives votes on an 18th proposal to limit the president's war powers.
