Thuringia's future in danger: appeal calls for a budget for social security!

On November 3, 2025, the Thuringian Appeal, a creative alliance of civil society organizations, will cause excitement in the political landscape. Refugee Council Thuringia reports that the appeal is supported by welfare associations, trade unions, sports, youth, education and environmental associations as well as migrant self-organizations. The common goal? To ensure the state of Thuringia's ability to act and to meet future challenges with a stable social structure and a vibrant democratic culture.

The organizations appeal to the Thuringian parliamentarians to adopt the state budgets in a timely manner. This is crucial in order to keep the social, cultural and democratic infrastructure running in the long term. Despite the tense financial conditions, the planned double budget for 2026/2027 is intended to enable ambitious investments, but gaps and cuts are already becoming apparent in various areas.

Need for action in many areas

Specifically, this affects several essential areas of society. Social benefits remain unchanged, which practically means cuts. Early childhood education is also in jeopardy: Planned reductions in state allocations to municipalities amount to around 26 million euros for 2026 and 40 million for 2027. The alliance calls for reforms to be implemented without any savings constraints and for the 2025 budget to be preserved.

• Jugendförderung: Die Mittel für die örtliche Jugendförderung sollen auf das gesetzliche Minimum eingefroren werden.
• Schulsozialarbeit: Hier sind Kürzungen um 750.000 Euro pro Jahr vorgesehen, was zu einem Abbau von Stellen führen kann.
• Hochschulen: Planungssicherheit ist gefordert, da die vorgesehenen Steigerungen im Doppelhaushalt geringer sind als erwartet.
• Vielfalt und Antidiskriminierung: Einsparungen bei der Bürgerbeteiligung und Antidiskriminierungsarbeit in Höhe von 147.000 Euro stehen ins Haus.

The signatory organizations are making their voices loud and calling for the budget to be discussed quickly, with social security, education, integration, democracy and environmental protection given the highest priority.
