The debate on the government statement is also the first opportunity for the opposition to attack the plans in the coalition agreement. Much attention will be paid to the plan not to allow the state pension to increase along with the intended increase in the statutory minimum wage. Measures to curb cost increases in healthcare have also not gone down well with the opposition.
