SPD Unveils 'Job Protection Shield' for German Automotive and Steel Sectors

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) has proposed a 'job protection shield' for Germany, focusing on affordable energy prices and investments in domestic locations. The party aims to create favorable conditions for industry and business to secure jobs, particularly in the automotive and steel sectors.

The SPD believes that the future of the German automotive industry hinges on e-mobility. To make electric cars more appealing to consumers, the party plans to discuss increasing incentives at the upcoming 'Autosummit'. The SPD wants to make buying an electric car a financially beneficial and attractive choice.

The SPD will advocate for job protection in the steel and automotive industries in the coalition committee and summits. Key ministers involved in these negotiations include Finanzminister Lars Klingbeil (SPD) and Wirtschaftsministerin Katherina Reiche (CDU). They, along with Arbeitsministerin Bärbel Bas (SPD), have been preparing protective measures for these industries. A significant discussion took place at the 'Stahlgipfel' planned for the fall, where they met with other officials to discuss these measures.
