ā€œA cheque for every citizenā€

tageszeitung (taz)

Fiscal instruments should complement Energiewende efforts to fight populist criticism that climate protection was a luxury at the expense of the regular citizen, writes Bernhard Pƶtter in an opinion piece for tageszeitung (taz). ā€œIf citizens received a cheque labelled ā€œMany thanks, your environment!ā€ just before Christmas, people would see that ecologic and social policy pays off. Then, climate protectors would not have to tremble in fear of populists,ā€ writes Pƶtter.
