Bundestag decides to reduce tax subsidies for farmers. Despite weeks of farmers' protests: The Bundestag has approved the withdrawal of tax relief for agricultural diesel.

Parliament passed the corresponding budget financing law. Before it can come into force, the law must pass the Federal Council. However, the regional chamber did not agree to a shortening of the deadline and did not deal with it. The law will now initially be discussed in specialist committees. The next regular meeting of the Federal council is scheduled for March 22nd.
