The CDU leadership in Saxony has joined forces with the state farmers' association to harshly criticize the policies of the traffic light coalition in the federal government. "The agricultural policy of the traffic light coalition is exemplary of the poor work of this federal government. If you want local food, you must not impose more and more burdens on agricultural businesses," said Minister President and CDU state leader Michael Kretschmer on Saturday after a meeting with association head Torsten Krawczyk. The Saxon CDU therefore stands by the farmers and supports their demand that more and more burdens must stop.
"We finally need to focus on growth again and not on the pet projects of the traffic light parties. That means affordable energy, a strong social market economy, more freedom and common sense in political decisions," emphasized Kretschmer. An "erratic political style" of the traffic light coalition had led to a lot of uncertainty and anger in Germany. "The federal government is constantly making new wrong decisions, causing more and more resentment among the people. Raising taxes in a phase of a weakening economy is poison for the economy."
