Criticizes EU Bonus for Officials' Children: Stoch Expresses Disapproval Over €1,000 Allowance
In a recent development, the supplement for the third child among civil engineers in Baden-Württemberg has sparked controversy, with criticism coming from various quarters. SPD parliamentary group leader Andreas Stoch, who made his comments in Stuttgart, finds the bonus difficult to justify, warning of a potential social imbalance due to the financial advantage.
The supplement, which amounts to around 1,000 euros per month, according to the Ministry of Finance, has been criticised by the 'Stuttgarter Zeitung' and 'Stuttgarter Nachrichten', as well as the Federation of Taxpayers and the civil engineers' union. The state chairman of the civil engineers' union, Kai Rosenberger, finds the financial advantage for civil engineers' children difficult to explain in terms of social policy.
Stoch, however, supports reliable remuneration in the public service and considers it right to have good, adequate remuneration for public servants. He emphasises the social value of children, but finds justifying the supplement for the third child to be difficult and probably wrong. The SPD, he stated, has not yet made a final decision on this issue.
The discussion in Baden-Württemberg about introducing this allowance for the third and subsequent children among civil engineers is ongoing, and the proposal has faced criticism from at least one political party, though the specific party criticizing the allowance is not identified in the available search results.
The controversy is not limited to the general public, but also comes from within the civil engineers' union. SPD parliamentary group leader Andreas Stoch considers previous increases in child benefit to be sensible, but the bonus for additional children among civil engineers is causing confusion in the southwest.
In 2020, the Federal Constitutional Court declared the remuneration of child-rich judges and public prosecutors from North Rhine-Westphalia to be too low and partly unconstitutional. This precedent may potentially influence the ongoing debate in Baden-Württemberg.

As the discussion continues, it remains to be seen how the issue will be resolved and whether the bonus for the third child among civil engineers in Baden-Württemberg will be maintained or revised.
