Christian Lindner plans measures to strengthen the economy and combat inflation

Christian Lindner, finance minister and FDP chief, speaks in an interview about his plans for summer vacation and the political challenges of the past few years. He emphasizes that the debt brake and the fight against inflation are important goals. He also wants to improve the conditions for start-ups and strengthen economic strength. Lindner also comments on the current political situation, in particular on the reputation of the government parties and the rise of the AfD in the surveys. He emphasizes that the factual problems that are mobilized by the AfD must be solved. Lindner also explains the background of the heating law and admits that the FDP has made a mistake by approving the law in the cabinet. However, he emphasizes that the law has now been improved and the FDP will agree to it. On the subject of climate field, Lindner says that the funds for this should be financed from the CO2 price. The law to pay the climate field is to be implemented at the end of next year. However, Lindner emphasizes that the economic foundations must first be created before the money can be distributed. With regard to the country's competitiveness, Lindner calls for strengthening various areas, such as the immigration of skilled workers and digitization of the administration. He is also of the opinion that longer working hours and an increase in the retirement age should be considered in order to counteract the shortage of skilled workers. However, Lindner points out that it is important to create the economic foundations before talking about distribution of money. He makes it clear that there is no saving in families, children and education, but on the contrary, more money is provided. He also mentions the increase in child benefit. However, Lindner emphasizes that a functioning economy is important in order to be able to finance the new social achievements sustainably. He also emphasizes that other measures, such as language support and labor market access of the parents, are also important when securing child protection. Financial support alone is not sufficient. Lindner makes it clear that the discussion about more money for basic child protection should only take place after a discussion about the goals and measures.
