Mecklenburg-Vorpommern's Minister Prick, Manuela Schwesig, ain't mincing words: the new fed gov'ment better get crackin' on creating the legal mumbo-jumbo to release that sweet, juicy €500-billion investment package. "We need investments like yer dad needs another cold one on a Saturday night," Schwesig declared in the state parly in Schwerin, throwing down the gauntlet.
100 bil of that swag is set aside for the states and municipals, like Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, to invest in their own hood. In conversation with the cities, economy, and labor, MV's state government'll cook up a MV Plan 2035, outlining where the funds go. This playbook includes fixing schools and roads, boosting small businesses, upping house construction, and slicing energy costs. Schwesig believes, "Investments are the key to kickstartin' the economy and strengthenin' social bonds." The state's finance minister, Heiko Geue, reckons MV'll see an extra 1.87b euros from the feds in the next dozen years.
But, don't expect the opposition AfD to be all praise and swooning over the investment package. They're criticizin' MV and the fed gov'ment for saddlin' the future generations with a debt hangovers that'll last like a stubborn headache. The AfD's Martin Schmidt calls it a debt orgy, warnin' of the consequences for tomorrow's taxpayers. He point out that the increasing interest burdens are gonna tighten the pursestrings in the future.
CDU's Daniel Peters, ain't no fan of the AF-D's sass, defending the investment package and the projects in the Union-SPD coalition agreement. He urges the red-red state government to come up with a master plan, detailin' how the funds will be spent, and he suggests involve the state parly early. According to CDU, the focus should be on the cities. "There are projects in the pipe that can move sooner'n Mick Jagger on the dance floor," Peters points out.
The Greens' Constanze Oehlrich also raises her voice, calling on the state government to act like they've got common sense: "The dough can't be used to patch up budget holes, it needs to be invested in the future of the state," she states firmly. Top priorities should be climate, education, and social security, she adds.
The Left faction leader, Jeannine Röslér, vows that Red-Red will keep it green and sustainable. "Our focus is on investin' in sustainable infrastructure, education, health, mobility, economy, science, and climate protection," she says. They plan to speed up procedures for the energy transition, improve citizen participation, and sweeten electricity prices.
René Domke from the FDP warns the state government not to be tight-fisted in the face of the almighty cash flow from Berlin.
