Lindner expects top rounds in budget negotiations. There is currently a gap in the financial planning for the coming year in the double-digit billion range.
“I still see many places where we can achieve the necessary priorities,” said Lindner. Ultimately, this will probably not be decided in individual discussions with the respective ministers, but by the leaders of the coalition, he said. The procedure for drawing up the budget must be changed. It doesn't work if the ministries register their wishes first, as in previous years.
