[HIGHLIGHTS] Traffic light clinch over basic child security – FDP calls pause proposals “absurd”

Traffic light clinch over basic child security – FDP calls pause proposals “absurd”. Greens' prestige project has been hanging in parliament for months.

In particular, coalition partners believe that the demand for 5,000 new jobs cannot be implemented. Basic child security must be about digitizing processes and reducing bureaucracy rather than building it up, says Johannes Vogel, parliamentary managing director of the FDP parliamentary group. Despite criticism from the Greens, FDP and SPD remain optimistic that basic child welfare will be implemented, says Andreas Audretsch.
