Dresden (dpa / sn) - According to Prime Minister Michael Kretschmer (CDU), Saxony needs a cash fall after the corona pandemic.
When the worst has been overcome, you have to see who had what costs, he told the German Press Agency in Dresden.
"Then we have to see how the federal and state governments end up doing it together."
It is about priorities and timeframes in which to pay back the debts so that future generations do not have to be liable.
Saxony wants to take on up to six billion euros in debt to deal with the consequences of the crisis.
According to the current constitution, they would have to be paid within eight years.
Recently, doubts had arisen as to whether this would be possible in the short time.
“We have to calmly talk to the state parliament about whether it would be better to extend the repayment time. But it's still too early for that. We can't and don't have to decide that today, ”said Kretschmer. It is not yet clear whether the money will be enough and whether the federal government will support it.
