The federal and state consultations with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) planned for this Wednesday will be postponed because of his corona infection.
The chairman of the Prime Ministers' Conference (MPK), North Rhine-Westphalia's Prime Minister Hendrik Wüst (CDU) said on Twitter: "The @Bundeskanzler asked me to postpone the federal-state consultations on the #relief package because he cannot attend personally due to his isolation ."
Düsseldorf/Berlin – The consultations with the chancellor would therefore be postponed to October 4th.
The new date, which had been selected in favor of a face-to-face meeting, was confirmed by government circles in Berlin.
The special MPK of the country heads will meet as planned, Wüst tweeted.
"This Wednesday, the heads of government of the federal states are working as planned in their #MPK on solutions for how our country can get through the energy crisis well in autumn and winter."
The MPK chairmanship of North Rhine-Westphalia ends at the end of the month and then passes to Lower Saxony.
Wüst will then be co-chair of the country group in October.
