Saxony's government has failed to reach an agreement on the new budget and administrative reform at its closed meeting lasting several days. The consultations in Dresden are continuing, according to the state chancellery. It remains to be seen when they will come to a conclusion. The press conference at which results were to be presented in the afternoon was cancelled.
The cabinet, led by Minister President Michael Kretschmer (CDU), has been negotiating the 2027/2028 double budget, administrative modernization and relief for municipalities and the economy since Sunday. In addition to a noticeable reduction in bureaucracy, far-reaching savings are the aim of the talks.
