Various reliefs have their respective reasons, including the tax compensation for inflation proposed by Finance Minister Christian Lindner.

For him, the strongest reason for relief is “that we have to keep the basic democratic consensus by creating a social balance,” said Habeck. The high cost of gas would affect everyone. “And that means to me that those who earn less are supported more than those who earn a lot.”
