Criticism grows over plans not to raise Germany's Bürgergeld

Original: Im Hintergrund wird heimlich, still und leise, daran gearbeitet, das # Bürgergeld ( Grundsicherung) mal wieder nicht zu

German critics accuse politicians of quietly working to avoid raising the Bürgergeld, the country's basic income support, despite ongoing inflation. Recipients of the benefit would be hit hardest, critics argue, since rising prices erode their purchasing power. Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder is singled out as a leading advocate of cutting the benefit rather than increasing it.

Why now: Debate over whether to increase Germany's citizen benefit amid inflation and calls for cuts is resurfacing in German politics.
