Minister President Schwesig Thrilled with Federal Support Promise
Federal authorities have provided assurances that have pleased Schwesig. - Sisters Express Contentment with Federation's Promises
Hey there! Here's the scoop on what's going down with Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Minister President, Manuela Schwesig.
Things are looking up as Manuela expressed satisfaction with promises from the federal government regarding monetary support for the investment program. She views this as a "good interim step," and considers the "good news" from the Minister Presidents' Conference as crucial for municipalities and states alike, saying, "There will be compensation!"
All this came after a sit-down in the capital, Berlin. She's hoping for in-depth talks about the compensation details for the federal government's so-called growth booster in the coming days, with an outcome expected by Monday. Approval from the Bundestag and Bundesrat will follow by July 11th.
Manuela is insistent on the municipalities not bearing more financial burdens due to revenue losses, which may lead to residents and businesses shouldering the burden through higher fees and taxes.
The development of a "trigger mechanism" in a federal-state working group also earned Manuela's approval. The aim is to find a method to offset expenses for measures initiated by the federal government at the municipal level. Although it's a daunting task to find an automatic mechanism, Manuela is glad we're working on it.
Making things even sweeter, Manuela was pleased that the initial distribution key will be applied for the 100 billion euros earmarked for the states. Initially, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern was expected to receive 1.87 billion euros. Now they'll receive an additional 55 million euros, thanks to this better distribution scheme.
All in all, Manuela Schwesig seems pretty darn happy about the federal government's support promises, hoping to strike a balance between federal aid and state fiscal impacts. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates on this!
