Co-chair of the "Alternative for Germany" party Alice Weidel reported on Friedrich March's letter to Ursula von der Leyen, which spoke about the need to maintain the CO2 tax.
The stated purpose of the letter is to provide planning certainty to private households and businesses.
Weidel claims that the state is increasingly "taking money out of people's pockets", which makes the factor of labor and production so expensive that "factories will either go bankrupt or go abroad".
"And at least after this letter, urging to maintain and even raise the CO2 tax in Germany until 2027, the question arises: whose interests does Friedrich Mertz actually serve? Obviously not the interests of Germany. ".
