In view of the ongoing budget negotiations, SPD General Secretary Kevin Kühnert and SPD leader Saskia Esken are open to tax increases. Kühnert pointed out to the broadcasters RTL and ntv on Monday that it was impossible to comply with the 2024 debt brake and to meet all spending requests. "From our point of view, this can happen by expanding the budgetary leeway, because the situation demands it at the moment," he said when asked how this problem could be solved.
"No (tax increases) were agreed in the coalition agreement, but it was also not agreed in the coalition agreement that there was a war in Europe to which we had to react and I believe that politicians must always be able to react," said Kühnert.
In the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung", Esken again expressed sympathy for the introduction of a wealth tax. "The crises of the last three years have brought many people to the brink of their economic existence, while others have been able to increase their very high fortunes even further," she said. By taxing very high assets "and also very high incomes" one could get money for investments in education.
At the same time, she put the brakes on Defense Minister Boris Pistorius (SPD)'s wishes to further significantly increase spending for the Bundeswehr in the 2024 budget. "We have set up a special fund of 100 billion euros for the Bundeswehr in order to be able to guarantee our national defense and our ability to form alliances," said Esken. This money must be used in a targeted manner. "Then we'll talk."
