Finance Minister to Secure Budget Approval from Majority
Budget Showdown in Potsdam, Brandenburg
Brandenburg's Finance Minister, Robert Crumbach, is optimistic about today's vote on the double budget. In his own words, the legislative process will hum along smoothly, as the bill secured majorities during its first and second readings. Crumbach, a BSW member, acknowledges that fellow parliamentarian Sven Hornauf from Frankfurt (Oder) voted against the bill in the previous round, but remains hopeful that he might change his mind today.
The double budget, totaling an impressive 34.2 billion euros for 2025 and 2026, is causing quite a stir. Cuts across many sectors have ignited protests for months. Thousands of teachers, educators, and parents have taken to the streets, voicing their discontent with the austerity measures.
While there's no confirmed report on the current status of the budget vote or related protests from official Brandenburg or Potsdam sources as of June 2025, it appears that the double budget vote and related matters may not be widely reported or documented in the sources indexed, or they may not yet have reached a decisive stage to be publicized widely.
To stay informed, checking official Brandenburg state government releases, the Ministry of Finance Brandenburg communications, or local Potsdam news outlets would be advisable. Statements from Robert Crumbach, if he is the Finance Minister involved, should presumably be found there. Keep an eye on the news for updates on this heated debate!
The optimistic Finance Minister of Brandenburg, Robert Crumbach, anticipates a smooth vote for the double budget, totaling 34.2 billion euros for 2025 and 2026, despite recent protests against austerity measures in the education sector.
