The federal government has placed the planned Bafög increase under a funding caveat. This makes it unclear whether the announced reform will be implemented as promised. The SPD immediately responded with sharp criticism of the Union, which is said to have pushed for the caveat.
Juso leader Philipp Türmer directly attacked Union politicians. He spoke of ‘stupid clichés’ being used in the debate on student funding. Türmer called on the government to commit to the funds for Bafög bindingly and not to leave them open to negotiation.
