Schwerin (dpa / mv) - Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania's Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) has clearly rejected the demand of the Union parliamentary group leader in the Bundestag, Ralph Brinkhaus (CDU), for more Corona aid from the federal states.
Everyone knows that the federal government spends a lot of money on economic aid, but the federal states do the same.
That is why she found them to pretend that the federal states were not participating in the economic aid, "unacceptable," said Schwesig on Wednesday evening in Schwerin.
"To be honest, only people can say that who are obviously not that good at the subject."
The head of government referred, among other things, to state aid programs in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania in the millions, such as the so-called restart bonus for employees after short-time work.
With his push for a larger country contribution to Corona aid, Brinkhaus had raised a broad national front from within its own ranks, but also got the backing of Union budget and economic experts.
