The AfD faction has called for tax reductions and the resumption of gas imports from Russia, criticizing the federal government for inaction amid rising energy prices. A newly adopted position paper advocates for a reduction in the energy tax, elimination of the CO2 levy, and an increase in the basic tax allowance to €15,000. Additionally, the child tax allowance is proposed to rise to €12,000. Controversial topics such as relations with U.S. President Trump and conscription were reportedly not addressed during the meeting.
