Berlin finance senator Stefan Evers demands more money from the federal government for refugee aid

According to a report by www.bz-berlin.de , there is a new agreement between the federal and state governments, by the Berlin 2024 will receive 142 million euros from the federal government. Of course, this depends on the number of newcomers. The new agreement ensures that Berlin may receive significantly more for the current year, around 214 million euros. However, the decision of the Prime Minister Conference is a significant reduction compared to the current year. In addition, the MPK has also decided to reduce payments to asylum seekers, which means that federal states and municipalities should save a billion expenses. A statement by the financial administration states that the support of the federal government remains behind the earlier level, while the needs have increased dramatically, which could further tighten the already difficult budget in Berlin. Financial Senator Stefan Evers (44, CDU) was positive about the communication of Chancellor and Prime Minister for refugee financing and emphasized the importance of common resolutions.
