  "account": "The issue of affordability has become a central theme in various elections, including the recent Berlin election and the US midterm elections. Frau Weber suggests that the German government's package to address high fuel prices, including a price cap and potential windfall tax, only focuses on fuel prices, whereas the real issue is mobility and accessibility. She proposes a more comprehensive package that includes measures such as capping the price of the Deutschlandticket, implementing a speed limit, and promoting alternative modes of transportation like cycling. Weber also discusses the need for a more nuanced approach to addressing energy shortages and price volatility, citing the example of a buffer stock to stabilize prices and ensure a more equitable distribution of resources.",
  "summary": "Economist Isabella Weber is calling for a margin limit for vital goods, state buffer stocks - and says economic policy will decide on the rise of the far right.",
