Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania: Schwesig: Crisis is the most important task in the new year

Schwerin (dpa/mv) - According to Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD), a reliable and affordable supply of energy will also be one of the main tasks of the state government of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in 2023. "With the start of the price brake in January, citizens and companies have planning security. This is how we help everyone to get through the cold months," she said on Sunday in Schwerin. The energy crisis will continue to be the most important task for the state government in the new year.

With the MV energy fund in the amount of 1.1 billion euros, the economy, cultural and social institutions would be relieved in these difficult times. Schwesig announced that the state government would discuss aid from the hardship fund for small and medium-sized companies in the first cabinet meeting of the new year. "The most important goal is and remains to stabilize our economy and secure jobs."
