Die Gemeinden kritisieren das 500-Milliarden-Investitionspaket von Union, SPD und Grünen: Der für sie vorgesehene Anteil sei viel zu gering. Mancherorts sei man bald nicht mehr fähig, die Infrastruktur instandzuhalten.
German municipalities criticize the planned 500 billion euro infrastructure package as insufficient, with only 20% allocated to states and municipalities. Municipalities argue this share is too low given their responsibility for the majority of public infrastructure and their inability to maintain infrastructure. Concerns are raised about the potential for municipalities to become unable to act and to invest. Pressure is being exerted on the federal government to increase support, particularly concerning old debts.
