Saxon Crafts Day - Saxony's skilled crafts sector calls for the economy to be strengthened
The Saxon skilled crafts sector fears a prolonged crisis in the German economy and is calling on the federal and state governments to take measures to stabilize the situation. "The focus must be on strengthening the economy," reads a resolution published by the Saxon Crafts Association on Monday. "Without a strong economy, the socio-political goals cannot be achieved." This also requires a strategic prioritization.
It calls for a reduction in energy prices, which are too high by European standards, a reduction in bureaucracy and a fundamental readjustment of education policy. The federal and state governments must "develop a strategy adapted to the federal system in order to make our country competitive and attractive again in the field of education". The latest Pisa study had shown that Germany had lost its leading role in education. It is also necessary to return to a legally compliant federal budget in accordance with the latest ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court.
At state level, the planned amendment to the Saxon Public Procurement Act has met with criticism from the guild and trade associations organized in the Handwerkstag. Complicating the procedure for awarding public contracts for companies and administration with new bureaucratic requirements is the wrong political response to the current construction crisis.
According to its own information, the Saxon Crafts Association represents more than 55,000 companies with around 300,000 employees.
