"Bild": Lindner will Autofahrer mit Spritpreis-Rabatt entlasten
Angesichts steigender Energiepreise wegen des Ukraine-Kriegs will Bundesfinanzminister Christian Lindner (FDP) laut einem Zeitungsbericht die Autofahrer in Deutschland mit einem Rabatt auf die Spritpreise spürbar entlasten. Lindner wolle "umgehend" einen festen Preisnachlass einführen, um die Ausgaben der Autofahrer je Liter Kraftstoff Richtung zwei Euro zu drücken, berichtete die "Bild"-Zeitung (Montagsausgabe) unter Berufung auf Regierungskreise.
Konkret sollen Autofahrer beim Bezahlen an der Tankstelle den Rabatt erhalten. Den Tankstellenbetreibern soll der Rabattbetrag anschließend vom Bund erstattet werden. Lindner wolle damit auf die Rekordpreise bei Benzin- und Dieselkraftstoff reagieren, hieß es laut "Bild" aus Regierungskreisen. Die konkrete Höhe des Rabattbetrages stehe aber noch nicht fest. Er könne womöglich bei 20 Cent je Liter liegen, möglicherweise auch darüber.
Vor ein paar Tagen hatte Lindner sich wegen der hohen Energiepreise offen für eine Anhebung der Pendlerpauschale gezeigt. Russlands Invasion in der Ukraine hat den Rohöl-Preis in die Höhe getrieben, was wiederum für eine deutliche Verteuerung von Benzin, Diesel sowie anderen fossilen Brennstoffen sorgt.
