Discussing the State Budget: Landtag Debates on Finances - Salute to Heroes and Uprisings
Budget Discussion Held in Parliament - Commemoration of the Famous Uprising Anniversary - Legislators Deliberate Finances - Commemoration of the Popular Rebellion
Hey there! Let's dive into the big events happening in Brandenburg's Landtag this week. They're busy deciding on the budget for this and the next year. The debates start today at 1:30 PM, continuing on Thursday and wrapping up on Friday. This budget is a hot topic, sparking protests due to planned cuts in the poor economic climate. Even though the finance committee gave the budget a green light, some austerity measures for municipalities, care, and Brandenburg Medical University have been largely withdrawn by the SPD and BSW coalition factions.
On the education front, teacher positions will see cuts, but the coalition has boosted the budget for substitute teachers. Teachers will also take on an extra lesson per week while finding relief elsewhere. Healthcare and the police will see increased funding. The coalition plans to take on an additional billion euros in debt each year, with the state's reserves taking a hit.
Kicking off the plenary session on Wednesday at 10:00, they’ll salute veterans on National Veterans' Day and pay tribute to the 1953 Uprising.
