Magdeburg (dpa/sa) - Shortly before the consultations between the federal and state governments on the financing of crisis measures, Saxony-Anhalt's Court of Auditors President Kay Barthel warned of the burden on the state being too high. A relief package sounds attractive from the concept, said Barthel on Tuesday in Magdeburg. "But if you look at the numbers, it's clear that this is a burden for the countries."
The consultations between the prime ministers and Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) on Tuesday afternoon will deal, among other things, with the design of the planned gas price brake and the financing of various other relief measures.
