Robert Habeck does not consider a complete assumption of heating costs for Hartz IV recipients to be correct.

But he is now receiving a lot of criticism for this.

Berlin - With a statement about a full coverage of heating costs for Hartz IV recipients, Greens boss Robert Habeck caused a lot of resentment and anger.

The ARD program “Report from Berlin” dealt with a topic that currently concerns all consumers: the skyrocketing energy prices.

Not only motorists now have to dig deeper into their pockets at the petrol station.

Heating costs are also rising rapidly.

Hartz IV recipients in particular now fear having to pay extra.

This is why there is always the demand for complete coverage of heating costs regardless of consumption.

Hart-IV: Habeck accuses recipients of wasting energy

Currently, a certain amount is paid, which is determined individually.

Recipients are now plagued by the worry that they will be left with the costs if they make an additional payment.

Habeck was also confronted with this problem in the first.

Moderator Tina Hassel asked what the Green politician would think of a full coverage of heating costs for Hartz IV recipients or for people with very low pensions.

The 52-year-old replied: “Full takeover always invites you to turn on the heating and open the window.

There should be an incentive to use energy carefully. "

Hartz IV recipient: Robert Habeck flat rate

However, this statement was not at all well received by many viewers.

On Twitter, a number of users were outraged by Habeck's statement.

One user writes: “He generalizes in a condescending way all recipients of Hartz IV to intentional waste of energy!” In addition, Habeck's sentence is perceived by many users as “inhuman”.

Another Twitter user expresses concern and writes: "Is that how the future government will deal with people affected by poverty?"

But there are also users who protect Habeck.

After all, immediately after the controversial statement, he emphasized that he would welcome higher Hartz IV rates.

He described the recent increase of three euros as a joke.
