Union attacks Berlin's Left-led government over funding
Original: Eine von der # Linken regierte Hauptstadt will die # Union nicht mitfinanzieren. Bei der # noafd in # Sachsen_Anhalt war
CSU leader Markus Söder is facing criticism after suggesting the Union could use the Länderfinanzausgleich, Germany's fiscal equalisation scheme, against states governed by the Left. Berlin, governed by the Left, would not receive Union co-financing. Commenters point out Söder was less rigorous about this when campaigning in Saxony-Anhalt, calling the fiscal scheme a political weapon against left-led governments.
Why now: Söder's remarks link federal funding to the political colour of state governments, raising concerns about politicising fiscal policy.
