Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Protection fund: taxpayers' association for lower borrowing

Schwerin (dpa/mv) - The Association of Taxpayers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has joined the demands of the State Audit Office to reduce borrowing. "The budget is not fully financed, money from the MV protection fund is being demanded," said the taxpayers' association in Schwerin on Friday. The association calls on the state to drop the loans from the MV protection fund that have not yet been used. The day before, the State Audit Office presented its financial report for the 2020 budget year.

In it, the Court of Auditors suggests reducing the MV protection fund, which is equipped with 2.85 billion euros in credit authorizations. This is intended to avoid an excessive debt burden in the targeted repayment period from 2024 onwards.
