Securing the Social State 2024: Welfare associations are calling for planning security
On the sidelines of the current debate about the Federal Budget 2024, significant welfare associations, including AWO, Diakonie, Caritas, Parity Welfare Association, DRK and ZWST, require the Federal Government to ensure the security of the welfare state. This requirement is of great importance against the background that the current hanging game is already in danger. The welfare associations make it clear that the social infrastructure urgently needs financial planning security in the coming year to ensure the care of its clients and employees.
in Berlin, a city with a large number of free welfare care facilities and a significant share of recipients of social services, the demand for financial planning security is particularly relevant. The organizations of welfare are firmly rooted in the capital and make an important contribution to the support of needy citizens. A failure of the Federal Government to ensure the security of the welfare state would have a direct impact on numerous social institutions in Berlin. This could lead to restrictions on the care of the needy and significantly impair the work of the welfare associations.
The demands of the welfare associations reflect the concern that the welfare state and the organizations supporting it could ultimately suffer from the hung area around the Federal Balent in 2024. In particular, the uncertainty about the financing in the coming year is a major challenge. The federal government is asked to create planning security as quickly as possible and to stand by the agreements from the adjustment meeting of the budget committee. Responsible action on the part of the government is essential to ensure the care of people in need in Berlin and throughout Germany.
In view of the current situation, it seems urgent that the Federal Government and the Budget Committee find a solution in cooperation with the charities to ensure the financial security of the welfare state. This is of great importance for the citizens of Berlin, who rely on the support of the welfare associations. A timely solution is therefore of the greatest importance in the interest of the common good and the social stability of the capital.
