Mainz (dpa / lrs) - The taxpayers' association in Rhineland-Palatinate misses relief for citizens in taxes and duties in the new coalition agreement of the three traffic light parties.
In addition, the additional costs of the projects listed in the contract and their financing often remained uncertain.
"Future austerity measures and the repayment of corona debts remain just as diffuse," criticized the association on Friday.
According to the taxpayers 'association, the development of civil servants' pensions remains the "largest explosive device" in the state budget. Last year, for example, utility expenditures were already 2.6 billion euros, significantly exceeding investments. According to the country's estimate, by 2023 it would even be around three billion euros. "Nevertheless, the necessary reform of the civil service provision is completely hidden in the coalition agreement," criticized the association. The taxpayers' association rejected the announced introduction of a 365-euro ticket for young people.
Positive in the contract is the commitment to compliance with the debt brake and the financing reservation for the agreed projects, explained the taxpayers' association.
The accelerated expansion of the digital infrastructure is also welcomed with a view to the future viability of the Rhineland-Palatinate economy.
