Payment card also for citizens’ benefit recipients? FDP rejects the move. Jens Teutrine (FDP), spokesman for citizens' money, does not believe the introduction of a payment card is expedient.
CDU MP Maximilian Mörseburg recently ventured forward with a corresponding idea. FDP politician wants to focus social policy more on job placement and less on increasingly tough sanctions and restrictions. The main purpose of the card is to prevent payments abroad - for example by restricting cash withdrawals.
