CDU faction leader calls for higher inheritance tax ahead of court ruling

Stefan Nacke, head of the workers' group in the CDU/CSU faction, publicly urges his party to reconsider its stance on inheritance tax, arguing that performance should be rewarded more than inheritance. This comes ahead of Constitutional Court negotiations on the matter, signaling a potential policy shift within the conservative bloc. The development is notable as it breaks with the CDU's traditional opposition to higher inheritance taxes, though it remains unclear if this will translate into official party policy.
