Employer President Rainer Dulger considers the planned citizens' allowance to be a huge mistake.

There was a risk of false incentives - and a split in society.

Berlin – Actually, the new citizens’ income should start on January 1, 2023.

That would be the end of the previous Hartz IV system.

But there is trouble.

Because the CDU is threatening to block the reform in the Bundesrat.

This could delay the project of the traffic light coalition.

Citizens' allowance: Employer President fears that society will be divided

But not only the CDU thinks little of citizen money.

Rainer Dulger, head of the employers' association BDA, also expressed criticism.

"The citizen's income threatens to divide our society," he warns of the

picture on Sunday.

"

It cannot be that some of the people who go to work in the morning have only a little more money at their disposal than someone who does not go to work in the morning.

That's unfair and creates the wrong incentives," Dulger continued.

Citizens' money: Green Party chair Lang comments on Dulger's statement

This statement caused outrage online.

On Twitter, numerous users are annoyed by the claim that citizen money could divide society.

Many believe that workers' low wages are the problem.

A user has a clear message for the employer president: "Dear Mr. Dulger, it's not that the citizen's income is too high, wages are too low!" She writes.

 “It cannot be that some of the people who go to work in the morning have only a little more money at their disposal than someone who does not go to work in the morning.

That is unfair and creates the wrong incentives.”

Green Party leader Ricarda Lang also responded to Dulger's statement on Twitter.

There she apparently writes sarcastically: "If only employers could influence what people have available who go to work in the morning."

Left-wing member of the Bundestag Klaus Ernst also finds clear words about Dulger's position.

“Aha, citizen income 'is threatening to divide our society', according to Employer President Dulger.

But the refusal of a reasonable wage increase, as in the metal industry, then leads together?

Pure hypocrisy!

Higher wages, the gap to citizen income has already been established!” he writes on Twitter.
