Gas and diesel are very expensive in Germany. One liter of super costs about 2,29 euros. Diesel costs even more than 2,40 euros. Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz wants to change this. He talks about unfair high prices for fuel.
The government plans fast help for the people. Merz says the limit is reached for many. This is true for people with a car. A exact plan for help is missing now.
Politicians have different ideas for help. Katherina Reiche suggests money for specific groups. Sebastian Steineke wants to lower the energy tax. Daniel Peters demands pressure on prices. In countries like Austria fuel is much cheaper.
