State parliament discusses consequences of budget ruling
Schleswig-Holstein's financial situation dominates the November session of the state parliament, which begins today. At the start of the three-day deliberations (10.00 a.m.), the MPs will debate the effects of the Federal Constitutional Court's budget ruling in the topical hour. This has consequences for the handling of emergency loans and special assets. The latter have been common practice in the North for years.
The CDU and Greens want the state parliament to declare an extraordinary emergency situation. This is expected to be discussed on Thursday. On Wednesday, Minister President Daniel Günther (CDU) is due to make a government statement on refugee policy. He wants to report on the results of the federal-state talks at the beginning of November in the Berlin Chancellery. A demand by the SSW to enshrine protection against discrimination in law will also be discussed in parliament.
The Federal Constitutional Court's budget ruling has significant implications for the management of emergency loans and special assets, topics that will be discussed extensively during the parliamentary debates. The state parliament's agenda includes a proposal by the CDU and Greens to declare an extraordinary emergency situation, a matter expected to be addressed on Thursday.
