Tax policy is a contentious issue among potential coalition partners.

FDP boss Lindner is now shooting against the SPD and the Greens.

Berlin - The FPD does not want to be blamed by the Greens and the SPD if there should be no tax relief.

FDP chairman Christian Lindner criticized the potential partners for their statements on tax policy.

It is “a myth that relief for the working middle class can only be financed with compensatory tax increases elsewhere,” Lindner told

Bild am Sonntag

.

"The aim of strengthening the center should not be stagnation."

SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz and the Greens leader Robert Habeck had recently indicated that tax relief for lower and middle incomes was not possible because the Free Democrats rejected the tax increase required as counterfunding for top earners.

The dispute over the contentious issue of tax policy apparently continues.

Traffic light coalition: tax blame for future partners?

FDP speaks of "myth"

Lindner turned the tables and said: "Unfortunately, I gather from public statements by the chairmen of the SPD and the Greens that both apparently no longer pursue the relief of low and normal wage earners." Election campaigns for more redistribution rule out the FDP * demand for tax relief for all.

We have to accept that, ”he said.

Lindner, however, rejects financing concerns of the SPD and the Greens: “The FDP expressly does not represent the coupling of tax relief here to tax increases.” He emphasized: “With new taxes on assets, one would weaken family businesses with millions of employees and ultimately damage our state's financial base. “
