Dominic Fritz criticized extreme left politician Sahra Wagenknecht's proposal to eliminate child allowances for Romanian workers in Germany whose children live in Romania. He emphasized that Romanians contribute significantly to the German budget, arguing that the proposal ignores their economic impact. Fritz highlighted that over 500,000 Romanians pay taxes in Germany, contributing between 6 to 9 billion euros annually. He condemned Wagenknecht's rhetoric as harmful and called for her to apologize for perpetuating stereotypes about Romanians. Fritz asserted that child allowances are a right for those who pay taxes, regardless of where their children reside, and that the proposal would negatively affect around 60,000 Romanian children.
