The Chancellor has promised rapid relief in view of the high energy prices. He said that people with little money and energy-intensive companies in particular must now be helped. There is also good news, he said. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has promised swift implementation of the planned further relief due to high energy prices. "The legislative machine has started and will organize the necessary support very, very quickly," the SPD politician said in his weekly video message released Saturday. He said it's about support for households, families and for those who earn little money - but also for companies that now have high energy bills and don't know how to keep their business going. Looking at electricity, heating and gas prices, Scholz reiterated, "They're too high, and they need to come down." In the case of electricity, he said, a change in the "market design" should ensure this. A commission had been set up to look at gas prices, and there were talks with the European Union and with all those who export gas to Europe and to Germany. The chancellor referred to the precautions that had already been taken to ensure the supply of coal, oil and gas and that the electricity supply would continue to function. Today, he said, "I think we can get by." https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article241244013/Energiekrise-Die-Preise-muessen-runter-sagt-Scholz.html?source=puerto-reco-2_ABC-V12.1.A_control#Comments
