The Greens in the Saxon state parliament are not letting up on the subject of the Interstate Broadcasting Treaty and continue to insist on clarification. The background to this is the government's answers to minor questions from MP Claudia Maicher (Greens). "In its response, the state government pretends that everything is still open. However, I have the impression that it is deliberately working to make the treaty fail."
Maicher had asked, among other things, when Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU) would have to sign the amendment to the Interstate Broadcasting Treaty at the latest and when it would have to be introduced as a bill in the state parliament in order to be passed on time.
In its response, the State Chancellery pointed out that Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt have not yet signed the treaty, as the constitutional complaints by the broadcasters are still pending and a decision by the Federal Constitutional Court in the relevant proceedings is still outstanding. As long as the treaty has not been signed in full by all participating states, it cannot be forwarded to the Saxon state parliament for legal reasons.
