Representatives of several parties in the Saxon state parliament have demanded a clear signal from the federal government to preserve the solar industry in the state. Member of Parliament Daniel Gerber (Greens) warned against repeating the mistakes that led to the loss of thousands of jobs in the industry years ago.

Federal Economics Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) has already positioned himself in favor of preserving the industry. However, the Federal Ministry of Finance has yet to give its consent.

We are facing a second clear-cutting of the Saxon solar industry, said CDU politician Robert Clemen. "This must be prevented at all costs. The AfD blamed high energy prices and German energy policy for the decline of the industry.
