“wing”, a sensitive ballad produced by Cato, tells of all the nights in which he was plagued by fears and could not sleep. “Flugel” wants to encourage everyone who finds themselves in a similar situation and show them that they are not alone.

A recent legal report emphasizes that the federal government is obliged to fully reimburse nursing insurance for the billions in costs caused by the corona pandemic. The lawyer Dagmar Felix calls the use of contribution money to finance Corona measures a misappropriation and therefore unconstitutional act.
The health insurance company DAK-Gesundheit commissioned a report that provides constitutional arguments for the fact that the federal government must cover all costs beyond normal care that have arisen due to the corona pandemic. According to the report, the financing of corona tests and the payment of care bonuses are tasks for society as a whole that must be carried out using tax revenue. This is how the “Editorial Network Germany” reports on the report.
Dagmar Felixa lawyer from the University of Hamburg, argued: “Access to social security contributions is denied because otherwise social security contributions would be used to finance the general state budget.”
With the implementation of Corona measures, such as the tests and the care bonuses, the care insurance incurred additional expenses of around 13 billion euros. So far, the federal government has only covered part of this amount. According to DAK and other funds, a sum of six billion euros is still outstanding.
Nursing care insurance is currently in financial difficulties, which makes the question of full compensation from the federal government even more urgent. Without further support, there is a risk that the contribution rate will increase by at least 0.2 percentage points at the beginning of 2025.
Andreas StormDAK CEO, is of the opinion that an increase in contributions can be avoided if the federal government fully bears the costs of the pandemic. “The result of our legal opinion is clear: During the pandemic there was a misuse of contribution money, which must now be corrected in view of the acute financial problems,” he told the RND. He further warned that the necessary financial resources of six billion euros must be made available this year in order to prevent an impending increase in contributions at the turn of the year.

Kai Gehring, education politician for the Green Party and chairman of the Bundestag Education Committee, is calling for an additional “future investment program in education” in addition to the recently launched billion-dollar program for hotspot schools. The funds could be financed, among other things, through a fairer inheritance tax and the reduction of climate-damaging subsidies, said Gehring in a theses paper for the upcoming Future Congress of the Green Party.
According to a report in the “Rheinische Post” in its Monday edition Kai Gehring developed a thesis paper in which he emphasizes that “the revenue from a fairer inheritance tax system or the reduction of climate-damaging subsidies could be used to invest in educational opportunities for young people.” A specific focus should be placed on primary schools. The proposed program should have a duration of at least ten years.
In addition to his call for an additional future investment program, Gehring is also in favor of setting up a “Federal Center for Digital Education and Media Education”.
A “pact for future skills” is intended to better prepare students for the world of tomorrow and protect them from “fake news, disinformation and authoritarian propaganda from anti-democratic forces”. This is another suggestion from the Green Party’s education politician as part of his thesis paper for his party’s upcoming future congress.

The Union criticizes the planned increase in the contribution assessment limits in health and pension insurance and calls for reforms. The FDP advocates an automatic relief mechanism, while the SPD considers the planned step to be necessary. The Left and the Sahra Wagenknecht coalition have more far-reaching reform proposals.
Tino Sorge (CDU), the health policy spokesman for the Union faction in the Bundestag, criticized the planned increase in the contribution assessment limits. He told the “Welt” that the “traffic light coalition lacks the strength and consensus for reforms” in both statutory health insurance (GKV) and pension insurance. Sorge suggests that relief of around ten billion euros could be achieved if the costs for non-insurance services were adequately offset. A further five billion euros could be saved by reducing the VAT on pharmaceuticals.
Pascal Kober (FDP), Social policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, expressed rather quiet criticism. He explained that linking the assessment limits to wage development was a tried and tested instrument and would prevent political gamesmanship. At the same time, however, he called for the introduction of automatic mechanisms to relieve the burden on citizens, such as in the case of bracket creep.
Martin Rosemann (SPD), Social policy spokesman for the SPD, stressed to the “Welt” that the increase in income limits was a necessary step. Without an adjustment of the assessment limits, insured persons would receive lower pensions despite rising wages, as contributions are only collected up to the assessment limit.
Matthias W. Birkwald (Die Linke), pension policy spokesman for his parliamentary group, proposes introducing an employment insurance scheme into which all employed people would pay contributions up to four times the average salary. He also calls for the contribution assessment ceiling in pension insurance to be doubled.
Andrej Hunko, The alliance’s health policy spokesperson, Sahra Wagenknecht, is calling for a fundamental reform of health insurance. He is aiming to abolish the contribution assessment limit and reduce the number of statutory health insurance companies. According to him, this could reduce contributions by up to four percentage points.

Bernd Althusmann (CDU), former challenger of Stephan Weil (SPD) for the office of Prime Minister in Lower Saxony, is leaving state politics. In an interview with the “Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung” (NOZ), he admitted mistakes and looked ahead to his upcoming role at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Canada.
Bernd Althusmann (CDU) spoke in an interview with NOZ about his departure from state politics: “I am not leaving with a grudge,” he said and made it clear: “I have achieved almost everything, but the position of Prime Minister was unfortunately denied to me. I would have really liked to become that and would have done so with passion.”
Althusmann also reflected on his campaign strategy and admitted mistakes: “Various appointments a day, more than 25,000 kilometers by car across Lower Saxony in the six to eight weeks before the election – that didn’t work and didn’t bear fruit.” He also spoke about his good relationship with Stephan Weil, which he believes may have been his downfall. “It’s possible that I was a little hesitant about speaking out during the election campaign.”
Despite his disappointed political ambitions, Althusmann is optimistic about the future. He announced that he will probably take over the leadership of the CDU-affiliated Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Canada in November.
