  • Deputy Chancellor Klingbeil advocates market interventions to curb soaring fuel prices.

  • His plan includes a windfall tax, energy tax cuts, and a flexible fuel price ceiling.

  • Chancellor Merz opposes these measures, prompting intense negotiations between CDU and SPD before the week's end.

  • Green party members condemn the government's slow response and call for broader relief policies.
  • The most effective measure right now is market intervention. We see that in other European countries. And I think we should have that courage as well.
    — Lars Klingbeil, vice chancellor and SPD leader, said this to the Süddeutsche Zeitung in the context of the debate on state market interventions to relieve fuel prices.
