Union relies on tax reliefs and hard asylum policy before the election!

The Union of the CDU and CSU relies on a strategy full of costly promises in the upcoming Bundestag election campaign to gain votes. According to the draft of its election program, which is available to the German Press Agency, income taxes should be reduced and the regulations on the tax return for pensioners are to be simplified by automatically calculating taxes. In addition, the abolition of the solidarity surcharge is planned, so reports Tagesschau.de .

In addition, the Union calls for a drastic realignment of asylum policy. An unexpected stop for illegal migrants is at the forefront. Migrants without prospect of staying should be rejected at the German borders, as is stated in the proposal. The Union plans to reform existing migration and asylum laws and is committed to faster deportations, especially according to Syria and Afghanistan. This strict course is intended to ensure that Germany continues to be controlled by the incoming refugees, such as radioenneperuhr.de reports.

financing questions and other points

How these ambitious plans are to be financed remains vague. The Union plans to achieve savings by deleting services such as citizens' money. In a 79-page paper, measures such as an expansion of renewable energies and a possible return to nuclear energy are also outlined. The Union tours, under the direction of Chancellor candidate Friedrich Merz, have set themselves the goal of significantly reforming the tax laws, which raises questions about the realistic implementation.

The planned measures also include a gradual increase in allowances for real estate and inheritance tax as well as a significant increase in defense spending. While the Union specifies its ideas, critics of the SPD remain skeptical about the tax relief presented. They warn of one -sided advantages for top earners and large companies, while financing remains unclear for the citizens.
