Growing criticism of citizens' money - the FDP still sees some catching up to do here. FDP wants to better align the tax system with social benefits.
Sanctions against so-called total objectors would also help strengthen the acceptance of the welfare state among the population. Even if the vast majority citizens' benefit recipients would not come into contact with sanctions, these can still send a signal to all recipients and ensure that they meet their deadlines and meet their deadline for receiving benefits, says FDP citizen money spokesman Jens Teutrine.
