Wolfgang Kubicki, the chairman of the FDP, warned against introducing new relief measures in response to rising energy prices. Speaking to the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger” (Monday edition), Kubicki stated that the most effective way to control petrol costs is for the state to refrain from excessive intervention. He argued that a sustainable energy policy inevitably requires both tax reductions and the expansion of domestic energy funding. Kubicki voiced his strong disapproval of continued government interference in pricing, adding that the authorities must be prevented from further meddling in the market. He concluded by noting that the so-called “12 o’clock rule” has already inflicted sufficient damage.
