(GermanPolicy.com) – The German Trade Union Federation has issued a warning that the planned social reforms should not be called into question in the aftermath of the situation in Ukraine. DGB chairman Hoffmann sees the danger that promised measures such as citizen income and basic child security will be introduced later than planned. This could come at the expense of workers or the vulnerable in society, he said.

Citizens’ benefit is to be paid out in the two initial reference years without taking into account a recipient’s assets. The size of the apartment is not limited either. The basic child security, then, is to be paid out automatically, and as a complete package.
