state politics - Green praise the Senate for engagement in administrative reform
Berlin's Green Fraction leader Werner Graf respects the work of the black-red Senate on the administrative reform. At the same time, he criticized the planned Faster-Building Law, which, in his view, contradicts the goals of the reform. "One must acknowledge that this government has gotten further in the administrative reform than any before," Graf told the "Tagesspiegel."
It's not about cheap symbolism but about the real issues and the task distribution between the state and districts. A reform agreement by the end of the year is considered realistic by Graf.
"Faster-Building Law must be stopped"
"What concerns me is the discrepancy between what we discuss there and what the Senate does," Graf said. "The Senate is now proposing a law with the Faster-Building Law that is the opposite of what we want with administrative modernization."
We demand that we determine the task distribution based on content considerations and not as a punishment. For the Greens, it is clear: "This Faster-Building Law must be stopped. In addition, we need a moratorium for laws that affect the responsibilities of the state and districts until the administrative reform is completed."
The Green Party in Berlin's House of Deputies shares Graf's concerns about the Faster-Building Law contradicting the administration reform goals. Graf urges for a halt to the Faster-Building Law, arguing that the Senate's proposal runs counter to their intentions for administrative modernization. The Greens advocate for task distribution based on content considerations rather than as a form of punishment. According to them, a moratorium on laws affecting state and district responsibilities is necessary until the completion of the administrative reform.
