Greens want energy compensation for poorer people

Green Party leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt has called for short-term financial aid for high energy prices on low incomes. „The state must also enable low-paid workers and beneficiaries to absorb such short-term price spikes,“ she told the Bild am Sonntag. Those who drive to work today usually have no alternative, she said, because public transport is often too poorly developed.
