The Greens in the Saxon state parliament believe that cycling in the Free State of Saxony could be greatly expanded. The potential is currently not being fully exploited, explained MP Gerhard Liebscher. His party has worked hard to achieve the progress that has been made, but is still far from satisfied.
Greens: Ministry of Finance has a fundamental obstructionist mentality
"I am particularly annoyed by the sluggish expansion of cycle paths. Instead of prioritizing cycle path planning due to the enormous backlog demand in Saxony, the responsible minister remains unambitious to the end," explained Liebscher in the direction of Transport Minister Martin Dulig (SPD).
Every extra euro for cycling had to be fought for. Without federal funding, things would look bleak. Added to this is the CDU Ministry of Finance with its "fundamental obstructionist mentality".
