CDU and SPD want to make their future new minority government leaner. "A new government must start by making savings," said CDU leader Michael Kretschmer at the presentation of the coalition agreement.
The number of ministers in Saxony will reportedly be reduced from 11 to 10 and the number of state secretaries from 15 to 11. Kretschmer spoke of a signal - taking responsibility in these special times. They also want to reduce bureaucracy and roll back some laws.
CDU and SPD have been negotiating the formation of a minority government since mid-November and the coalition agreement has now been presented in Dresden.
