CSU boss Söder: Savings plans for administration and public broadcasting – Bavaria

For a long time, the Bavarian Prime Minister was primarily investing – now he is planning savings. Not just with state personnel, but also with laws, regulations and public broadcasting. Söder would prefer to abolish Radio Bremen and Saarland Radio entirely.

Markus Söder (CSU) has been Prime Minister of Bavaria for almost six years. During this time, people have gotten used to Söder reliably opening his wallet when he presents a big idea. For example with family money or the high-tech agenda, both programs worth billions. This Thursday it’s that time again, at the winter meeting of the CSU state parliamentary group, Söder is announcing new measures. But he leaves his wallet behind, quite the opposite: the days of bubbling tax revenues are also over in Bavaria, Söder wants to save money, including on personnel costs in the public service. More instead of less, that is the new line. Not just when it comes to money, but also when it comes to laws, regulations and public broadcasting. Not everything that Söder announces is new, much of it can be found in the coalition agreement between the CSU and the Free Voters. An overview of the most important measures.
