Minister of Culture Conrad Clemens (CDU) will answer questions from the state government. Other topics include medical care in the Free State, the future of Volkswagen in Saxony and the implications of the title of European Capital of Culture 2025 for Chemnitz. The AfD is tabling a motion that would result in a work obligation for asylum seekers.
