According to his own statements, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann has campaigned for the dismantling of bureaucracy in the exploratory talks for a possible traffic light coalition in the federal government.
The reduction of bureaucracy was a very big topic in the exploratory negotiations, said the Green politician of the "Schwäbische Zeitung" (Wednesday).
He brought that in powerfully.
Ravensburg / Stuttgart - There is enormous competition globally, said Kretschmann.
"And if we don't manage to get faster and reduce the bureaucracy, Germany as a business location will fall behind." That is why he is now so unyielding on the subject, he told the newspaper.
Kretschmann named wind power as an example.
Here in the country one wants to achieve at least a halving of the time from the idea to implementation.

Regarding the failed framework agreement between the EU and Switzerland, Kretschmann said: "The fact that Switzerland is leaving the negotiations so suddenly and without prior notice surprised everyone." Above all, he also had the impression that Switzerland had no plan B.
Kretschmann now expects that the bilateral agreements will “gradually become out of date”.
Most important future issues such as health and energy and power supply fell by the wayside, said the Prime Minister.
