In the opinion of the Green Party, the planned renovation of the Dresden TV tower should be put to the test. "The planned luxury refurbishment seems completely out of date, at least since the collapse of the Carola Bridge," explained Thomas Löser, member of the state parliament. He said it was time to work out alternative options for opening up the TV tower.
Löser had submitted a minor question on the subject to the state parliament. This revealed that only just under 540,000 of the planned 4.5 million euros in funding in the state's current double budget had been called up. "The difficult budgetary situation of the city of Dresden currently requires painful savings in many areas. It does not reflect well on the state capital if it prefers to make cuts in the social and cultural sectors instead of questioning the renovation of the TV tower, which cost around 25 million euros," said Löser.
