Children’s prints – Ueli Maurer is not surprised that no to children’s prints – News

• About 63 percent of those who voted have refused to increase the child tax deductions for direct federal taxes.
• Finance Minister Ueli Maurer “is not really surprised” by this result, he told the media.

The finance minister said the proposal has a very difficult phase in parliament. Parliament had essentially rewritten the federal proposal, reminding Maurer of the surge that the bourgeoisie had pushed against his will.

With its proposal, the Federal Council simply wanted to increase the allowance for children cared for by third parties, from a current maximum of CHF 10,100 to up to CHF 25,000. I wanted to get more women with children to return to work.

“Packaging and contents do not match”

Parliament agreed with this. Members of the citizens’ council also requested an increase in the general child allowance from 6,500 to 10,000 francs. They asserted themselves against the Federal Council and also against the left.

Sunday’s result should not be seen as a vote against children or families, Maurer said. Rather, the packaging and contents did not match. He definitely sees opportunities for a parliamentary initiative that wants to take on the original proposal of the Federal Council. It assumes that the councils will take care of them next year.
