The state government wants to change the municipal constitution law - much to the displeasure of the opposition parties Greens and FDP.

On the agenda of the state parliament on Wednesday, there are also completely different topics, including - as so often - the corona measures.

Hanover - The state parliament in Hanover will give final advice on Wednesday about a controversial planned amendment to the Municipal Constitutional Act.

The opposition parties FDP and Greens see themselves clearly disadvantaged by the state government's bill.

In the spring, the government drafted an amendment to this end, which, among other things, should regulate the distribution of seats in the specialist committees.

The opposition fears that this will cause them to lose their say.

It is about more than just formalities, said the Greens group on request.

It is about the basic understanding that even small parliamentary groups in the municipalities should have a right to a full say.

In addition, the FDP parliamentary group wants to discuss the proportionality of the corona measures in the state parliament session.

The Liberals recently reiterated their call for a "Freedom Day".

The term comes from England, where the corona measures were largely lifted in July.

"It is time for the state to withdraw and give people more personal responsibility again," said parliamentary group chairman Stefan Birkner.

The state government recently emphasized that it was too early to take such a step.

For the SPD parliamentary group, among other things, the debate about a possible further battery cell factory in Lower Saxony is in focus.

This will bring a very specific approach to ecological economic development in the coastal region on the way, said their parliamentary director Wiard Siebels.

"With a view to the port infrastructure and the short distances for green electricity from our offshore systems, we have ideal conditions for this." So far, a VW battery cell plant in Salzgitter has been firmly planned.
