The Thuringian Greens parliamentary group leader Astrid Rothe-Beinlich called in the state parliament debate on the budget for the year 2022 to think about new loans.
You have a considerable budget, said Rothe-Beinlich on Friday in the Thuringian state parliament in Erfurt.
“But hardly any leeway, and that is a real problem.” Therefore, the subject of loans must be addressed again.
Erfurt - “There aren't that many possibilities or adjusting screws,” emphasized Rothe-Beinlich.
In her view, Thuringia is in a difficult situation for several reasons that justify new loans.
Among other things, she cited the corona pandemic and the climate crisis.
The climate crisis can be defined as a crisis in which investments are necessary.
If no other means were available, one would have to take out loans for it.
