alarm bells ring in Berlin: The United Service Union (ver.di) urgently warns of the catastrophic consequences of the planned tax cuts of the federal government. "We have to prevent the bleeding of public budgets!" Calls ver.di boss Frank Werneke . The current tax assessment is nothing less than a call to in order not to endanger the financial basis of the state!

At the regular session of the tax assessment working group, the sad forecasts were unveiled: by 2028, the income from the federal government, the states and municipalities will decrease by terrifying 58.1 billion euros! For 2025, a burglary of 13 billion euros will be forecast compared to the last estimate. The tax gifts announced by Federal Minister of Finance Christian Lindner will lead to a dramatic loss of income of 23 billion euros - an irresponsible game with our tax money!

investments instead of austerity policy!

Werneke is certain: "The entire expenditure policy goes in the wrong direction!" A strict austerity policy that hides behind the debt brake is no longer up to date. Instead, clear priorities have to be set! Now Germany needs a massive investment offensive to flee social systems, educational institutions and the outdated infrastructure!

The future -oriented steps are clear: secure financing for daycare centers and schools and at the same time improve the clarification of social security systems. The motto must be “invest instead of broken”! Germany faces an unprecedented challenge to boost domestic demand. If you don't act now, you could feel the consequences soon!

Werneke appeals to all decision -makers - the Federal Council must not allow the tax plans to become another problem of public budgets. This reminder cannot be ignored!
