- Martin Burkert recommends discounts on the Germany ticket and long-distance travel to alleviate high fuel costs for citizens.
- The Germany ticket currently costs €63 per month and is funded by federal and state governments plus sales revenue.
- A 30 percent price cut would reduce monthly expenses by nearly €20 for about 14 million ticket holders.
- Despite a €2.3 billion loss in 2025, Deutsche Bahn’s long-distance division posted a small profit but plans a restructuring program.
Instead of letting themselves be misled by the oil companies, politics, alongside an excess profits tax, must use the state-owned Deutsche Bahn. A temporary 30 percent discount on the Deutschlandticket and price reductions in long-distance travel of up to 50 percent would be a quick and effective relief.— Martin Burkert, EVG chief, speaking to Bild am Sonntag

- The Swiss Federal Council plans to increase the mandatory health insurance minimum deductible from 300 to 400 Swiss francs, linking it to rising healthcare costs.
- Elisabeth Baume-Schneider opposed the hike internally and sought a firm rejection within the Federal Council.
- The proposal was driven by the departments of FDP's Keller-Sutter and SVP President Parmelin, emphasizing greater insured responsibility.
- Data from the Federal Office of Public Health shows that higher deductibles reduce doctor visits but may negatively impact chronically ill and vulnerable groups.
The cost-damping effect of deductibles has been proven. Premium payers would be relieved by the adjustment.— State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (Seco) – in its statement on the minimum deductible increase
