Saxon Interior Minister Armin Schuster (CDU) wants authorities to act efficiently and quickly. "We have to ask ourselves the question: How can we turn central authorities from supertankers into speedboats in terms of their impact on citizens?" he told the German Press Agency (dpa). When reforming the authorities, the employees themselves should have their say: "The point is not to let others decide, but to make suggestions and shape things yourself before it comes to making savings using the lawnmower method."
According to Schuster, all structures need to be questioned. However, no one needs to be afraid of being made redundant, as the reduction in personnel in the Saxon administration could be achieved solely through the large number of people leaving the administration.
