Former Interior Minister Katrin Lange Breaks Silence on Controversial Brandenburg Budget Debate
Ex-Interior Minister Addresses Public Post-Resignation - Ex-Home Secretary offers post-resignation account
Hey there! What's up? Guess who's back on the scene after a low-key stint away from politics? None other than Katrin Lange, the ex-interior minister of Brandenburg, who's been keeping a low profile since her resignation back in May!
On her Instagram account, she dropped a bombshell that the state budget for 2025 and 2026 is up for debate in Potsdam, and it's been going down since Wednesday afternoon. The big decision is expected to drop on Friday.
Remember when Katrin Lange stepped down as interior minister due to the heated dispute with the Office for the Protection of the Constitution? Well, despite the dust settling, it seems like she's still standing with the governing coalition.
Her resignation came under heavy fire due to the disagreement over how to approach the assessment of the state's AfD. But she's back now saying that, given the narrow majority for the coalition of SPD and BSW, her voice should definitely be heard.
The budget has been causing quite a stir, with thousands of residents taking to the streets in Brandenburg to voice their displeasure over the proposed cuts, due to the less-than-ideal economic situation.
Katrin Lange wraps up her Instagram post with this little teaser: "As for the rest of the festival, I'll share my thoughts gradually and in due time; there's no rush at all."
