AfD raises issue of adjusting farm succession payments
Berlin – The AfD parliamentary group has called for the farm succession payment to be adjusted. In a motion submitted to the Bundestag on Monday, the group proposed various measures to ensure that the payment can continue to fulfill its purpose of securing the future of farms.
According to the motion, the farm succession payment has lost its effectiveness due to inflation and rising land prices. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for young farmers to take over their parents’ farms. The AfD parliamentary group is therefore calling for the payment to be increased to at least 100,000 euros. In addition, the group wants the payment to be made available to all young farmers, regardless of their financial situation.
The AfD parliamentary group also criticized the fact that the farm succession payment is currently only available to farmers who have worked on their parents’ farm for at least five years. The group argues that this requirement is too strict and that it prevents many young farmers from receiving the payment. The AfD parliamentary group therefore wants the requirement to be reduced to three years.
The motion by the AfD parliamentary group has been met with mixed reactions. The CDU/CSU parliamentary group has welcomed the motion, but has expressed doubts about whether the AfD’s proposals are sufficient to solve the problem. The SPD parliamentary group has rejected the motion, arguing that it would only benefit wealthy farmers.
The Bundesregierung has not yet commented on the motion by the AfD parliamentary group.
