The Federal Council has rejected the introduction of the 1,000-euro relief bonus during a session that discussed the financial implications of the measure. The Taxpayers' Association welcomed the decision and is calling for the plans for the relief bonus to be completely abandoned, deeming the measure unsustainable.

The federal government is now seeking alternatives to the previous relief measures. This development could impact financial support for citizens.
