Parliament - Wüst on traffic light budget agreement: "Better late than never"
North Rhine-Westphalia's Minister President Hendrik Wüst (CDU) still sees unanswered questions following the federal government's budget agreement. However, it was good that the traffic light coalition had reached an agreement during the night, said Wüst in the state parliament in Düsseldorf on Wednesday. "Better late than never," said the CDU politician. "The traffic light crisis must not become a German crisis."
Even if the exact consequences of the agreement still need to be evaluated for NRW and there are still questions, the following applies more than ever: "It's about our country, it's about trust and it's about reliability," said Wüst. All democrats now had a political responsibility to the state.
After days of negotiations, the leaders of the traffic light coalition had previously reached an agreement on the federal budget for 2024. They see themselves forced to make cuts and savings following the budget ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court. For example, climate-damaging subsidies are to be abolished, spending by individual departments reduced and federal subsidies cut.
