(ANSA) – BERLIN, AUGUST 15 – “The costs are rising, there is no way around it. Energy prices will continue to rise. But we are already relieving the burden on citizens with 30 billion euros. And we’re preparing another one. aid package. We don’t leave anyone alone.” Chancellor Olaf Scholz wrote it on Twitter today, commenting on the new gas surcharge, the addition to the gas bill that Germans will find from autumn this year. The government-approved levy allows companies to pass their gas procurement costs on to consumers.
Instead, 30 billion is the total of the first two aid packages that Berlin has already decided on in recent months. The Executive is now working on a third package.
