Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil emphasized that, from the point of view of the states, further financing issues still need to be clarified. The decision of the meeting showed that the federal and state governments are postponing their fundamental decision on permanently higher federal funds for refugee costs.
This is to fall at a meeting in November. For 2023, however, the federal government pledged an additional one billion euros as a refugee lump sum.. Weil said the decision was better than what he thought was possible just a day or two ago.
