AfD Kompakt, August 17, 2022.
Scarcities of gas and electricity are not sudden natural
events but the result of the Federal government’s policy. This negative
situation might be turned around if only there was the political will for it.
Yet the Ampel lacks even this. A
German Finance Minister in the present situation cannot let Brussels decide
whether or not the value added tax is allowed to apply to the gas assessment. The
gas assessment costs for the citizens thus now increase – whereby is crowned a
senseless idea.
The gas assessment does not in fact offer relief in the
energy crisis, but a turning away from the Ampel’s
ideological Russia and energy policy does. The start up of Nord Stream 2 as
well as the continued use of coal and nuclear power again need to be on the
table. The Ampel must no longer let
itself be led exclusively by ideology in these questions but must commit itself
to the interests of the citizens – just like the AfD!
