The budget for 2024 can no longer be passed this year. That shared Katja Mast, the first parliamentary managing director of the SPD parliamentary group, said in a message to MPs. The message is that star before. The “Bild” newspaper first reported.
Accordingly, Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD), Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens) and Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP) “were not yet able to bring their intensive discussions to a conclusion,” the message says. Clear requirements have been agreed upon in the party committees, which Scholz had already addressed in the government statement. The Chancellor is “confident that a result can be achieved in the coming days”. Mast continues to write: “Although we have done everything we can to achieve this, the budget for 2024 can no longer be decided on time this year. LG Katja”
According to the budget ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court, around 17 billion euros are missing from the budget for the coming year. The coalition leaders have been discussing in small groups for days how the gap can be closed.
