Critical Council of State: work should pay, but we do not see it
The Council of State criticizes the Jetten budget, noting that tax increases burden workers disproportionately. While the coalition claims work pays, €5.8 billion of six billion in new levies falls on employees. Debt per person rises from €29,000 in 2025 to over €40,000 by 2035. The Council urges debt control and productivity investments, offering further advice if opposition support enables a revised budget.
