Kretschmer disappointed by Meseberg decisions

Saxony's Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU) is disappointed with the results of the traffic light meeting at Meseberg Castle. "The decisions of Meseberg are too little, they come too late and they are not coordinated with states and municipalities," Kretschmer told the German Press Agency on Thursday. He added that the additional burdens for municipalities as a result of the Growth Opportunity Act were a "severe blow to the neck." "The migration problem remains unsolved. We need Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco as safe countries of origin. The child basic security is another step to the unconditional basic income, which we reject as a Union."

In the "Augsburger Allgemeine" (Thursday), Kretschmer accused the traffic light coalition of making the AfD strong through a misguided policy. "The problem is that the frustration of the people in Germany is getting stronger. Of course, the poll numbers for the AfD are an expression of this frustration, and it applies not only to asylum policy, but also to the building energy law and some other issues," the CDU politician stressed.
