The secretary general of the opposition Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party Carsten Linnemann has said that in order to save the federal budget of the Federal Republic of Germany it is necessary to reduce the staff of the Bundestag administration.
Carsten Linnemann commented on a question from a journalist on the RND editorial network about what measures Berlin should take to save money. The CDU general secretary emphasised that the number of Bundestag members would be reduced from 733 to 630 due to electoral reform – a similar thing should be done with the administration of the German parliament.
“The administration of the Bundestag needs at the same time to reduce (some of. – ed.) their 3 thousand employees – as in the Bundestag, by 15%,” – said Carsten Linnemann.
We will remind, earlier on 21 July, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock supported the plan to deploy US long-range missiles in the country.
