Saxony achieves household compromise - criticism and fear of the future remain!
Zwickau, Deutschland - In Saxony, a household compromise was achieved that could mix up the political landscape. On June 20, 2025, the government parties CDU, SPD, the Greens and the left made an agreement, which is considered a rare shoulder closure. MDR reports that the analysis of the details and the critical gems play a role in the BSW. However, the opposition parties are not long in coming and express criticism.
In particular, the Court of Auditors points out that the expenses are too high and that there is no control - especially at universities. In addition, the Court of Auditors also recommends spending more money on state roads. The background to which the Saxon state government is faced with a budget volume of around 25 billion euros per year for 2025 and 2026.
a new four -all -round alliance
The new all -round alliance, which has formed to enable a majority for the Saxon state government's budget, is also exposed to internal hurdles. Saxon reports that the BSW-Chefin Sabine Zimmermann criticized. She claims that the CDU and the SPD in particular have really tricked the BSW when it comes to negotiations. A lawsuit on the part of the left faction is not excluded, which could further complicate the political mixture.
In the previous week, Zimmermann had direct discussions with the coalition, which included a promise for further discussions after the Pentecost meeting. However, these were not met, and instead of an agreement, the agreement of the new alliance went public. Their allegations are explosive: the other political groups would have had approval to the budget law for "a little more than 200 million euros", while the BSW was only offered one abstention.
Focus of government work
The finance minister Christian Piwarz has repeatedly emphasized in recent months how important a stable transitional budget is for the Saxon state government. Media Service emphasizes that the central focus of government thesis includes areas such as education, teaching and research. It is important to secure the personnel budget of the Ministry of Culture without cuts. The focus is also clearly on youth, with prioritized means for youth offers.
The challenges that arise from this should not be underestimated. There is a structural cover gap of 2.3 billion euros in 2025 and 2.0 billion euros in 2026, which needs to be concluded. Savings in different areas are essential in order to be able to finance the focus of government work. What is on the agenda? The reduction of personnel and property expenses is also planned as well as a reduced supply to the generational fund.
In the middle of all of these challenges, there are also positive news for the Zwickau region. Economic Minister Dirk Panter comments in an interview about the perspectives for the VW plant, where the future of Audi plays a central role. The work in Zwickau could face decisive changes that are significant for the local economy.
It remains exciting how the situation in Saxony is developing and whether the new alliance can master the upcoming challenges.
