Gearing Up for Saxony's Ticker Tape Parade: State parliament's final hurrah before the summer break
Let's get down to brass tacks: On Friday, the Saxon State Parlia-ment's about to gather for their grand finale before the summer holidays (kicking things off at 10 a.m.)! The hour's a-tickin' away for a heated debate on the repayment of those Corona aid bucks, at the AlfD's request. Rumor has it that Saxony ain't gonna go bleedin' theirfocus on the "Soforthilfe-Zuschuss Bund" program and federal bridging aid.
But that's not all! The BSW alliance's got a bone to pick over energy prices. They're callin' for preparations to be made for the revival of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, citizen. Nord Stream 1's been pipin' that sweet Russian gas for over a decade, and though Nord Stream 2 was finished, it never saw the light of day. What's more, in September 2022, three of the four strands of those pipelines were damaged in an attack!
Now, the SPD's got its eye on another pressing issue: the protection of political demonstrations. Take the Christopher Street Day (CSD) in Dresden, for instance. It's been a frequent target of right-wing extremists in the Saxon state capital.
Speaking of Dresden, the Greens are hoppin' mad about a different matter: they're aimin' to lobby for the city to host the start of the Tour de France 2030! Jus' t appleyin' some competitive pressure here, y'know?
And when all else is said and done, Constanze Geiert, ol' buddy, CDU's Justice Minister, will have to answer the tough questions firin' her way. Later on, the Greens (with the CDU-SPD minority coalition backing 'em) will discuss a motion about Saxony deserve to win an international sporting event like the Tour de France. The AfD, on the other hand, is insistin' on comin' up with a strong strategy to tackle extremism in the state. The BSW wants to tighten the reins on gaming halls to protect our little ones.
So strap in, folks! The next sessions in the plenum are set for September 10th and 11th. Gee, ain't that exciting?

- In addition to the Coronavirus aid repayment discussion, the policy-and-legislation agenda also includes the European policy aspect, as the Greens are advocating for Council Directive 76/769/EEC of 17 December 1976 on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the permissible sound power level of motor vehicles, in the context of the Tour de France advocacy.
