Saxon Landtag, Plenarprotokoll 7/30(2), pp.
2098-2099.
Right honorable Herr President. Right honorable ladies and
gentlemen.
In the past months, we have occupied ourselves in detail
with Section 09 and thereby brought in 24 motions to amend. As always, all were
rejected. Despite that, we can take away at few positives from your budget,
like protection of environment and nature. We have nevertheless applied the red
pencil where it was ideological – keywords: Climate, eco, and naturally the
dear wolf.
Even in regards agriculture is found some isolated good, the
strengthening of the nitrate monitoring system, for example. Had you last year
agreed to our motion, “Stop the intensification of the manure decree”, the
farmers would have been spared very much annoyance, costly time which you have
let run out.
We see good initiatives in the promotion programs for
grazing livestock and fish farming. Here were suitable interim means allowed
for until the next GAP [Common Agricultural Policy] budget.
Unfortunately, a Green ideology of all sorts is stuck in the
budget. In the coalition contract a “market regulated growth” of an eco-agricultural
economy was still spoken of. Now you want to open a new subventions market:
Almost one million euros for ecologically grown products in the scope of the EU
school program. Here once again the money of the hard-working will be
distributed – measured out with two standards, and with a rough ladle. The
Greens barely receive a ministry and the expenditures increase: Believe it or
not, 200 million euros more for this Section alone. What a gigantic sum! Worthy
colleagues, obviously primarily for yourselves; since when Green, one is gladly
a bureaucrat, and when a Green, one also gladly bureaucratizes.
One year after assuming the office of
Vice-Minister-president, it occurs to Herr State Minister Günther that for this
he still requires twelve new officials. In view of the existence worries of
many citizens, it would have been simple to more closely tighten the belt. Yet
happy is he who he himself and his are poised out of danger, is it not true,
Herr State Minister?
Additional officials’ positions are planned for a climate
and energy branch. What then shall 21 climate officials do? Perhaps observe the
forced disconnection of a coal power plant from the Dresden shore of the Elbe?
Or shall the central branch be newly created in preparation for the climate
lockdown?
You, Herr State Minister Günther, for a year speak of
strengthening the regional meatpacking industry. Nothing has happened. The meat
inspection charges are much too high. Direct marketers and small producers can
scarcely budget for these. Our motion for a reduction was yesterday rejected.
Worthy Herr State Minister, renounce your 43 new ministry
officials for, believe it or not, 7.5 million euros! The reduction of the
charges would thereby be counter-financed. That would nevertheless be a first
step.
Previously, you have attracted exclusively negative
attention amongst the farmers. Opposed to that, there is abundant tax money for
new windmills, almost one million euros for acceptance measures so as to break
the resistance in rural areas.
Marco Böhme
(Linke): Citizen participation!
Worthy CDU, some of your colleagues meanwhile also speak for
windmills in the forests, although in the coalition contract it was still
categorically excluded. For what actually does this government stand besides
squandering money?
A warm money rain also for the localities, but not something
for the financial infrastructure or for necessary reorganizations. No, the
climate fight will as of immediately be led from Saxon townhalls and an
additional five million euros have been planned for ideas competitions, eco
raffles, and so-called future prizes. We will gladly support protection of
environment and resources if there are clear concepts for that and measurable
goals are put forward.You however ever further inflate the environmental
officialdom, create eco and climate competences costing millions…
The Section reads in part as if it had been made in the
State business office of the Greens: The sale of CO2 indulgences for
air travel, and a public promotion of climate schools. Yes, Herr Lippmann. – The
climate fund however sets a crown on the whole. Why do you not transparently
delineate these Section measures in a budget? Why an additional shadow budget?
André Barth
(AfD): Why indeed?!
For what is the 25 million euros? I put this question.
I say to you, Herr Lippmann: For a lot of mischief. – I cite
from the regulations for the climate fund: “Securing of the energy supply
during persistent periods of heat and drought”. Worthy colleagues, correct is: “Water
supply during persistent periods of heat and drought”. We brought it to your
attention in committee, where you struck the passage from a motion, yet
nevertheless not out of the motions concerned and not out of the budgetary
accompanying act. How do you arrive at such nonsense? Look for once at the page
of the Green delegation in the press communication: “A climate fund for Saxony”.
There you will find word for word this same nonsense. This coalition is
obviously governed by the Greens.
Valentin
Lippmann (Greens): Oh!
Rico
Gebhardt (Linke): Man!
Worthy colleagues of the CDU, finally undertake your
budgetary responsibility and not the unexamined mischief of an 8 percent party!
Rico
Gebhardt (Linke): When the Greens name the Chancellor, you need to emigrate!
Or do you think – I must emigrate?
Rico Gebhardt (Linke): When the
Greens name the Chancellor, then you, ja, need to emigrate!
– Why should I emigrate? Why should I leave my country? You may
not say that to me!
What do you think, why I am standing here?
(President’s
bell)
President Matthias Rößler: No colloquy!
Allow colleague Dornau to continue to speak. If anyone wants to come directly
into the discourse, please use interim questions, and at conclusion of the
contribution, the brief intervention. – Please proceed.
Thanks. – Or do you mean the securing of the energy supply
during persistent absence of wind at times of darkness? That would be bitterly
necessary in regards your irrational energy policy. The supply security one attempts
to save with 7.5 million euros, with which charging stations and batteries are
promoted.
Marco Böhme
(Linke): And is that what is bad, or what?
Is it still not enough that the citizens pay for the
abundant returns of owners of the photovoltaic facilities? Now the taxpayers
shall, above that, finance those of the expensive accumulators. That is the
maximization of welfare for one’s own clientele on the backs of the taxpayers.
With this budget, the Green party wants to elect itself as
saviour of the climate, and the CDU irresolutely dissimulates behind it. Worthy
colleagues of the CDU, only with your votes could the Greens enforce this
ideology and, uncontradicted, squander taxes in this inefficient manner. You
must ask yourselves whether you can advocate for this budget. We will reject
it.
Many thanks.
