Saxony: urban development and rural areas: Schmidt criticizes cuts

Dresden (dpa / sn) - Saxony's regional development minister Thomas Schmidt has criticized the cuts in the federal budget in the area of ​​urban development and rural areas. "With all understanding for the increase in the gas price brake, "double boom" and inflation limitation, I think this cut is the completely wrong signal for our rural areas in Germany," said the CDU politician on Thursday, according to a statement. This no longer has anything to do with promoting equal living conditions.

In the reduction of 41.2 million euros, the point "promotion of integrated rural development" is affected disproportionately with 30 million euros, although an increase was decided in the federal coalition agreement.
