The Greens in the Saxon state parliament are calling for massive changes to the government's draft budget. Their party will introduce around 375 proposed amendments amounting to around 1.7 billion euros, announced parliamentary group leader Franziska Schubert. They also have a cover concept for this.
Greens want borrowing for important investments
"The federal government has given the federal states the opportunity to borrow, Saxony must now also take advantage of this opportunity. We are also relying on federal programmes, reallocations and a different prioritization," emphasized Schubert. The question is what is urgent and can be tackled in the medium term. State politicians must communicate this honestly and openly.
