Germany has spent approximately €50 billion to cushion the impact of soaring energy prices after drastically reducing Russian gas imports following the Ukraine conflict escalation, according to reports by Die Süddeutsche Zeitung and Bild. The Finance Ministry provided the figure in response to an inquiry by Green Party MP Robin Wagener, covering relief measures such as electricity and gas price caps, a one-off payment to pensioners, and rescue packages for gas companies. Experts cited by Bild suggest the overall economic toll, including new LNG terminal construction, is likely significantly higher. The opposition AfD has criticized the decoupling from Russian energy, with co-chair Alice Weidel claiming cheap Russian energy was key to 'Made in Germany' success and linking its loss to job losses and increased U.S. energy dependence. A study published in late July found that Germans experiencing above-median energy price increases were 7.5 percentage points more likely to support the AfD, with the effect particularly pronounced in former East Germany. The AfD won the Saxony-Anhalt regional election with 43.8% of the vote, while the CDU came second with 17.2%, and recent national polls show AfD support at around 28%.
