The Bundes-Rat votes against plans from the government. The government wants to give a bonus. Companies should pay 1000 Euro to workers. This money should be tax-free. This helps people with high energy costs.
Many states say no. Politicians from the CDU and CSU say no. The bonus costs the states too much money. The cities get less tax money. The government wants higher taxes on tobacco. The government wants to keep this money.
Thüringen has a plan for a repair bonus. People get money for fixing broken machines. This helps the environment. The Bundes-Rat rejects this plan. The costs are too high. Politicians must talk again.
