Thuringia's CDU parliamentary group leader Mario Voigt expects "tough negotiations" on the state budget for the next year.
"In terms of content, I can say that it is incredibly difficult for me to get something good out of the budget," said Voigt on Wednesday at the state press conference in Erfurt.
Erfurt - He also criticized the timing.
"I very much regret that the budget was brought in so late." It is practically impossible to approve the budget for 2022 this year.
Voigt warned of the state being “over-indebted” and the municipalities “drying up”.

This is the only way to finance the budget without new loans, explained Finance Minister Heike Taubert (SPD).
The government bill has a volume of 12.03 billion.
It was also decided to reform the financial equalization system, which regulates the state's payments to the municipalities.
