+++ Bundespolitik +++: Bundestag beschließt ersten Teil von Führerschein-Reform

Brandenburg's Minister-President Dietmar Woidke voiced support for Ilse Aigner, the CSU President for Baden-Wurttemberg, as a contender for the role of Federal President. Woidke expressed his admiration for Aigner, stating she embodies all qualities of a good Federal President. He believes she is "the perfect candidate" and praises her understanding of German politics and her approachability.

The SPD has intensified its pressure on Federal Economics Minister Katherina Reiche to propose a concrete plan for a fuel price ceiling before the Christmas holidays. Fraktionsvize Armand Zorn emphasized that they will not accept a law that allows three weeks of historically high fuel prices before the cap takes effect and another lapse by the end of March.

Zorn stressed the urgency of limiting the margins of the mineral oil industry, especially in light of price surges due to the Iran conflict.
