Prime Minister's Conference: States demand speed on electricity tax and fuel price cap
The affordability of daily life was the central topic at the meeting of the heads of state governments. They urge the federal government to hurry with some projects and talk about justice.
German states are calling on the federal government to quickly implement relief measures for citizens. The Minister-President Conference (MPK) in Berlin urged a rapid reduction in the electricity tax for all and a timely proposal for a planned fuel price cap. The MPK stated that despite relief measures, energy prices remain too high compared to international standards, and further action is necessary.
The conference also discussed a law to combat terrorism financing, proposing a new criminal offense for collectors of donations for terrorist organizations and easier confiscation of such funds. Additionally, the MPK decided that Gordon Schnieder will become the German-French cultural representative in 2027, succeeding Anke Rehlinger.
