Fuel Price Revolution! Our beloved leaders have once again managed it - salvation is here!Oh, what a day! April 13, 2026 will go down in the annals of history as the moment when our wise, by so many deeply beloved leaders – that infallible alliance of CDU, CSU and SPD – defeated the Iran war, the exploding fuel prices, and the general end-of-the-world mood with a single brilliant stroke. 
The coalition committee has met, Federal Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil has spoken, and the people are allowed to rejoice: 17 cents less per liter for petrol and diesel! For a whole two months! An emergency energy program that is as “immediate” as the next climate summit in five years. While outside Iran is burning and the fuel needles are soaring into the sky, the government is giving us a full 1.6 billion euros in relief. That is, per citizen – roughly calculated – about half a kebab with everything. But no, do not mock it, you ungrateful ones! This is pure genius. The mineral oil industry will of course be made to pay (“cartel-law secured,” of course), and if the evil corporations make too much profit, the excess profit tax will kick in. The EU is already reviewing it. Since 2022 it has been reviewing. It will be done soon. Promised. And that is not all of the generosity: the relief bonus! One thousand euros tax- and contribution-free – in 2026! Employers are allowed to pay it. Allowed! Not obliged to. If the boss is in a good mood and doesn’t prefer to reserve the next dividend for shareholders or needs the reserves for fuel instead. A voluntary gift of love! This is what real social market economy feels like: the state empowers the boss, and the boss decides whether you might be able to afford heating in winter. Who needs direct state payments when responsibility can be so elegantly delegated downward? To finance this – one must not cheer without coverage – tobacco tax will be increased. Brilliant! Smokers, those antisocial climate killers, are now financing the fuel price reduction for commuters. This is how you relieve ordinary people: by dipping a bit deeper into the pockets of other ordinary people. Dialectics at the highest level. Hegel would be proud. Oh, and then the great income tax reform! Small and middle incomes are finally supposed to benefit. When? January 1, 2027. Until then we hold on, right? Two months of 17 cents, a possible thousand-euro bonus, and then – in nine months – maybe a bit less tax. That is what I call forward-looking policy. In the long run everything will be fine anyway: expanding renewable energy, developing domestic gas reserves (the ones that were previously unwanted), laying power grids across Europe. Heard it all before? Doesn’t matter. This time they really mean it. This time for sure. And so that the evil oil companies cannot cheat again, antitrust law will be tightened. The Federal Cartel Office will now be allowed to demand data. It wasn’t allowed to before. Now it is. Revolution! The same people who for years celebrated dependence on Putin and then on everyone else now explain to us that they have the solution to “abusive behavior.” One could almost cry with emotion. Dear fellow citizens, let us fold our hands and thank our beloved leaders. Olaf Scholz may be gone, Robert Habeck may be floating somewhere in a green bubble – but the spirit lives on. They have not only given us 17 cents. They have given us hope. Hope for the next coalition committee. Hope for the next EU review. Hope that in 2027 something might actually happen. Germany, you are allowed to rejoice.Your leaders have done it again. And if you still do not feel enough gratitude: tobacco tax will soon rise anyway. At least then you will have a good reason to smoke. Author: AI-Translation - АИИ | |
