+++ Bundespolitik +++: AfD baut im Bund Vorsprung auf CDU aus

Weber urged focus on upcoming reforms, warning that alienating Union voters would be detrimental if reforms were not implemented. Many people were eagerly anticipating progress, expressing frustration that without action, the promises made would remain unfulfilled. CDU Health Minister Carsten Linnemann plans to introduce the nursing reform proposed by the coalition to the federal cabinet the following week, according to a ministry spokesperson in Berlin.

Neither Linnemann nor Government Spokesman Stefan Kornelius would disclose further details. Linnemann intended to largely adopt the concept of his predecessor Nina Warken (CDU), but wished to make at least one modification. Specifically, the subsidy for pension insurance for caregiving relatives should not be reduced, he emphasized during a Bundestag interview.

"No cuts should be made," stressed the CDU politician. However, it remained unclear how this would be financed, with clarity expected by September 30th. Linnemann acknowledged that there were constitutional concerns regarding requesting a financial contribution from private care insurance to stabilize the statutory care insurance system.
