Urgent appeal: Household decision for social infrastructure necessary!

Dresden, Deutschland - The current developments related to the Saxon double budget 2025/2026 not only employ the political committees, but also lead a great light on the social infrastructure in the Free State. On June 11, 2025, a day that is associated with tense expectations, Landtag President Alexander Dierks demands a quick decision of the budget. This requirement is supported by David Eckardt, the chairman of the league of free welfare in Saxony, who warns of impending dangers for the social infrastructure. "Every lost month endangered proven offers and trust in the country's ability to act," emphasizes Eckardt. This worrying situation requires direct action by the MPs in order to strengthen social services and to ensure reliable financing for the diverse sponsors, as Eckardt notes in an open letter to political decision -makers. This reports Bistum-dresden-meissen.de.

But the challenges are complex. The state government's draft budget for 2025 and 2026 comes about in an economically tense situation. The session of the 8th Saxon state parliament on April 3, 2025 made it clear that tax income has increased due to inflation and not economically. Personnel expenses in particular have increased enormously, for example due to tariff financial statements that increase the expenditure by around 600 million euros. In this respect, there is an urgent need for savings and cuts in the household, which among other things the debt counseling, addiction and psychiatric help as well as offers for migrants and

claims for security and planning

The league of free welfare care has clearly emphasized the need to get a budget decision before the summer break. Member of the state parliament Simone Lang also underlined the demand for a faster decisions. Eckardt says: "We need reliability and planning security in social work." To do this, votes in the opposition should be required to achieve a majority for the budget decision.

The possible consequences of the provisional housekeeping and the planned cuts in the Supplan 8 of the State Ministry of Social Affairs are particularly worrying. Carriers from various areas report impending project tasks and personnel losses that could endanger the diversity and quality of the social offers. The responsibility of preventing this lies in the hands of the MPs, who, according to Dierks, have to show their responsibility in order not to risk the social infrastructure.

economic framework conditions

In the context of this debate, the economic situation of the Free State must also be taken into account. The Saxons are experiencing an economic decline in gross domestic product and increasing inflation, which also makes the starting point for the new household more difficult. Infrastructure Minister Regina Kraushaar pointed out that the scope for the Saxon State Ministry for Infrastructure and National Development (SMIL) has decreased. With an available budget volume of 4.4 billion euros, the need to set priorities becomes clear. This development could have far -reaching effects on projects in the field of infrastructure and social housing promotion. According to media service.sachsen.de, the promotion of social housing is considered primarily, but there can also be a lot of bodies.

The discussion about the household shows that the Free State needs a strong and capable environment that can be achieved through responsible action by politicians. It remains to be hoped that the demands for more security and planning security will be heard in the social infrastructure in order to secure the diversity and quality of social services for all citizens in Saxony.
