Max Privorozki, Larisa Korshevnyuk and Eva Malischewski, also signed the important places in the municipalities of Halle (Saale) and Magdeburg, the contract, the central signatories of which the Prime Minister Dr. Reiner Haseloff was.

reasons for the contract change

The amendment contract has become necessary by the construction of new synagogues in Dessau-Roßlau and Magdeburg. This not only brings with it structural challenges, but also an increased need for security, for which a dynamization of the needs for wax services from 2027 will be planned in the future. In addition, the contract term of five years has now been extended to ten years, which enables the Jewish community to plan long -term planning.

The background of this initiative lies in the attack on the synagogue in Halle (Saale) on October 9, 2019, which underlined the need to optimize the existing Security State Treaty. A comprehensive concept for the structural and technical security and the provision of maintenance and security guards was determined to ensure the safety of the Jewish communities in Saxony-Anhalt. To do this, reports dubisthalle .

political cooperation

The signing is not only a bureaucratic measure, but also a symbol of the country's commitment to give the Jewish communities in Saxony-Anhalt the protection that they earn. The step will now initiate the Ministry of the Interior by submitting an approval law that will be forwarded to the state parliament. This illustrates the cooperation and the effort to issue security questions at the political level and is a positive signal to the community.

These measures show that Saxony-Anhalt is actively strengthening the Jewish community and promoting a safe environment for all citizens: inside. The signing of the change agreement thus represents an essential building block for respectful and safe cooperation in society, including the initiatives of the new Minister of Education Jan Riedel, which also campaigns for a strong and reliable educational landscape.
