Budget - State parliament to adopt budget for 2024

Lower Saxony's state parliament will vote on the budget for the coming year on Thursday (from 9.00 a.m.). According to the state government's draft, the budget will include slightly more money than this year (plus 0.7 percent) at 42.3 billion euros. The Red-Greens' core plans include higher salaries for teachers at primary, secondary and intermediate schools and the establishment of a state housing association for more affordable housing.

Minister President Stephan Weil (SPD) described the planned budget as a "realistic and reliable set of figures". The opposition, on the other hand, accuses the red-green government of lacking the will to shape the budget.

Following the conclusion of the budget deliberations, the topics on the agenda include violence against emergency and rescue services and educational equality.
