AfD: Adjust parliamentary allowance by law
15.11.2024 (hib 412): In light of the high inflation rate, the AfD parliamentary group is calling for the parliamentary allowance to be adjusted by law. In a motion to the Bundestag (20/5182), the MPs demand that the allowance be increased by 500 euros per month. This would mean an increase from 10,083.47 euros to 10,583.47 euros per month.
The AfD argues that it is only right that the parliamentary allowance be adjusted to the rising cost of living. The high inflation rate is making it increasingly difficult for MPs to make ends meet, the MPs write. They also point out that the parliamentary allowance has not been increased since 2020.
The motion is likely to be rejected by the other parliamentary groups. The SPD, Greens, FDP and Left Party have already spoken out against an increase in the parliamentary allowance. The CDU/CSU has not yet taken a position on the issue.
The parliamentary allowance is a monthly payment that is paid to MPs in addition to their salary. The allowance is intended to cover the costs of an MP’s parliamentary work, such as office rent, travel expenses and staff salaries.
