Saxony's carnival revelers are heading into the street carnival with foolish cheerfulness and a lot of confidence. Compared to previous years, when the energy crisis and stricter security measures had dampened spirits and increased costs, the clubs are relaxed about the peak of the fifth season, as the President of the Saxon Carnival Association, Jörg Weiser, said.
"These additional costs from previous years remain, but there have been no further tightening," explained Weiser. A few days ago, Saxony's Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer received some carnivalists in the state chancellery.
