  "account": "Ministerpräsident Dietmar Woidke of Brandenburg has expressed his support for Ilse Aigner, the Bavarian Landtagspräsidentin, to run for the position of Bundespräsidentin. Woidke believes Aigner possesses all the qualities necessary for a successful federal president and would be pleased if she were nominated. He described her as \"the perfect candidate\" with a deep understanding of German politics and the ability to connect with people. The SPD is putting pressure on Federal Economics Minister Katherina Reiche to propose a concrete plan for a fuel price freeze before the Christmas holidays. Fraktionsvize Armand Zorn stated that they would not accept a law that allows people to suffer through three weeks of record-breaking fuel price increases before the freeze takes effect, and it should not lapse at the end of March. Zorn emphasized the urgency of limiting the margins of the mineral oil industry in response to the current crisis and the recent price hikes caused by the Iran conflict.",
