Ahead of the upcoming energy price summit convened by Vice Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Saarland's Minister-President Anke Rehlinger has called for a state-imposed cap on fuel prices. Given the rising energy prices and the increasing burden on citizens, this is an important step to protect the purchasing power of the people.

Rehlinger emphasized that the current price hikes for fuel are limiting many households' mobility and quality of life. She demands a swift political solution that encompasses not only short-term measures but also long-term structural reforms. DIHK President Adrian is also urging for sustainable solutions to ensure the competitiveness of the German economy and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
