This is the FDP (neoliberals) trying to collect points for itself, as the only thing they did since coming into office is being an annoyance. Which is why they really suffered in regional voting contests lately and why they are a little in panic mode and trying it with their usual clientel policies (which means: let businesses do whatever they want). It really has nothing to do with facts or anything, for the FDP it's all about talking points.

The main problem is that the FDP are basically on the other side of the SPD and Greens, with which they share the office and why this will drag on until the next government will be voted upon (in 2025).
