04:16⇢The Unmet Promise of Electricity Tax Relief
⌨German media largely focuses on the federal coalition's failure to agree on a broad electricity tax reduction for private consumers (FAZ, Spiegel, Sueddeutsche, Tagesspiegel, Welt, merkur.de). After prolonged negotiations, particularly a Koalitionsausschuss meeting, the Social Democrats reportedly prevailed, leaving Christian Democrat leader Merz criticized for a broken promise. This domestic political struggle highlights ongoing tensions within the government. Meanwhile, US tax law impacts (FR) and the German Constitutional Court's impartiality (Junge Freiheit) also receive attention.
