We have a suspicion that this idea on quite a bit of resistance could be unstoppable.

The German finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, has a very creative solution for the vluchtelingencrisis and the costs that accompany it. Gentleman wants an additional tax on fuel to enter the above-mentioned costs can be collected.

The area covered by the schengen agreement is, in particular, will at the external borders better need to be protected and according to Schäuble should not be in the soup walk due to a lack of money. Without now to get bogged down in endless discussions about the usefulness of the EU, Greece and the return of the guilder, we are absolutely curious about how you about the German plan to think. Don’t forget that the excise taxes already went up. (via Süddeutsche Zeitung)
