Schwerin (dpa/mv) - From the point of view of the economy in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, the states are making exaggerated demands in the dispute with the federal government about the costs of the gas price brake. Energy supply at acceptable prices is the top priority and not a dispute between the federal and state governments over the financing of public transport, housing allowances or migration costs, criticized the executive president of the state working group of chambers of industry and commerce in MV, Matthias Belke, on Friday. "Now is not the time to almost paralyze the most important consultations through exaggerated demands from the countries."
Companies now have great expectations of the Gas Commission's proposals, which are due to be presented on Monday. "Due to the economic emergency, the results must then be implemented immediately," Belke demanded. Entrepreneurs would not have time to wait until the end of October or even longer. "If politicians don't immediately implement the decisions to relieve the economy, then a wave of insolvencies will sweep across the country," he warned.
