Household dispute in Brandenburg: SPD/BSW defend themselves against CDU lawsuit!

Berlin, Deutschland - On June 4, 2025, the Brandenburg coalition of the SPD and BSW is criticized, while it is working towards the adoption of the double household for 2025 and 2026. This has averted an impending action by the CDU and strives to decide on the budget in June. Finance Minister Robert Crumbach from the BSW emphasizes the importance of a rapid budgetary offset, especially for people in clubs and associations that rely on these funds. The coalition factions have proposed an appointment for a new hearing for Thursday next week to concretize their plans and possibly respond to the opposition concerns that were expressed in a special meeting.

The CDU parliamentary group, which has proven to be temporarily distant from a lawsuit against the project, criticizes the inclusion of two scientists in the legal considerations for debt admission. These had previously created reports for the Ministry of Finance, which in their opinion is a conflict of interest. CDU parliamentary group leader Jan Redmann also accuses Crumbach and emphasizes that the planned budget could burden future generations.

debt economy and opposition criticism

A central point of the debate is the planned massive expansion of debt admission. According to the current plans, the debt load could increase from 500 million euros to over three billion euros. In this discussion, the AfD parliamentary group expressed sharp concerns about the intended borrowing of around one billion euros annually. Group leader Hans-Christoph Berndt has expressed the intention of examining statutory steps in order to stop the debt admission considered illegally.

The estimated expenses for the upcoming double budget total 16.7 billion euros for 2025 and 17.4 billion euros for 2026. Critics in the opposition indicate that the planned cuts in areas such as daycare, road construction, fire brigade and universities would endanger future -relevant investments. The original plans for cuts at the Brandenburg University of Medical School are also largely dropped, which further heats up the discussion about the financial imbalance and the responsibility of future households.

structure of the budget

The budget is determined by a variety of elements. A budget statute contains all the information required for planning, including the determination of the administrative budget and the asset budget. While the administrative budget includes fundamental income and expenses such as taxes and public taxes, the asset budget focuses on investments and the repayment of debt. The financial plan is structured in such a way that it provides a medium -term overview of planned investments and represents both the income and expenses in a recognizable framework.

Overall, the upcoming budget process is characterized by a high complexity, which combines both legal and financial issues. However, experts often emphasized in the discussions that there are no constitutional problems with the desired new regulation of the debt admission, which the coalition sees as a positive confirmation of its approach. Despite the concerns of the opposition and internal criticism of the financial strategy, the willingness to redesign and stabilize the financial situation in Brandenburg remains central to the further political agenda.
