Greens celebrate the answer to a request for citizens' money - but only tell half the truth. In 2023, fewer people switched from a job to basic security than ever before.
The number of people who are now receiving basic security due to loss of employment fell to a new low in Germany last year with the start of citizens' benefit. Critics accuse the government of promoting long-term unemployment. The Greens' interpretation of the facts only reveals half theTruth. The request had previously been made by Green Party politician and former head of the Verdi union, Frank Bsirske.
