Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) has announced that he will file a lawsuit against the state financial equalization in the first half of the year. “It’s just unfair and unfair,” said Söder picture on sunday. Bavaria is “solidarity, but not naive.” Last year, the Free State bore the largest burden in the state financial equalization with 9.9 billion euros. A total of 18.5 billion euros had been redistributed between the 16 federal states. “We don’t want to abolish the state financial equalization, but reform it and relieve the Bavarian taxpayers,” announced Söder. Ten years ago, Bavaria and Hesse had already filed a lawsuit against the state financial equalization system at the time. The two states withdrew their lawsuit in 2017 after a reorganization of financial relations between the federal and state governments.
