CDU debate for citizens' money: dispute over basic security and the will to work
Berlin-In the past few days, the discussion about citizenship money in Germany has gained explosive, in particular through statements by the CDU general secretary Carsten Linnemann. His demand to delete the basic security for citizens' money recipients, which in his opinion is not willing to work, not only did domestic waves, but also raises important questions about the social responsibility of the state.
The voices from their own party
The reaction to Linnemann's statements came promptly and violently, especially from the social wing of his own party. Christian Bäumler, Vice Chairman of the Christian Democratic Working (CDA), critically commented and pointed out that many affected people who are unavailable for job centers often suffer from psychological problems. Bäumler emphasized that such an attitude with the Christian image of man was not compatible and appealed to humanity by pointing out that it was unacceptable to suspend people in Germany.
government plans to increase measures to tighten
In view of the increasing expenditure for the citizens' allowance, the Federal Government has already announced influx of rules. Among other things, reasonable ways to work and rejecting work with stronger performance cuts should be punished. The handling of undeclared work is also on the agenda, as this should also lead to cuts. The measures aim to move more people to work and to make social security more fairly.
economic reality and social challenges
The statistics mentioned by Linnemann, which speaks of a “six -digit number of people” who supposedly do not want to work, illustrates a deep crack in the social perception of Hartz IV and Citizens' Burt. While some politicians represent the idea that the social benefits should be reformed to encourage people to work, on the other hand, there are voices that look at the challenges and reasons for unemployment. In particular, mental health, education and social origin are factors that are often neglected in public debate.
an appeal to more empathy
The discussion about the citizen benefit could be seen as an indicator of a wider social problem. It is crucial that politics finds a balance between responsibility towards the taxpayers and the support of the needy. An approach that promotes empathy and understanding of individual life situations could lead to a fairer and more stable society in the long term.
Overall, Carsten Linnemann's advance not only shows the differences within the CDU, but also raises fundamental questions about social justice in Germany. It remains to be seen how the upcoming reforms are designed and whether they can meet the challenges of today.
