it is serious, but not so serious that Saxony would soon no longer have a governing coalition. The dramatic events surrounding the Leipzig Corona demonstration have clearly divided the CDU, the Greens and the SPD. It is about the interpretation of the events, necessary conclusions from them, in which the CDU on the one hand and the two coalition partners are very far apart.
The existence of the alliance is not at risk. Even if the Greens and the SPD collectively tried to avoid the bad word of the government crisis yesterday in response to journalists’ inquiries, at most wanted to speak of a “crisis of confidence” or a “very intense burden”. One thing is clearly evident: this alliance has not yet found its working basis, the mode of cooperation, the constructive dispute in search of the best political solution.
Instead, the centrifugal forces of the usual own party paths pull especially at the Greens newbies on the government bench. You can no longer take everything so openly to the outside, demand the resignation of the interior minister and publicly criticize your coalition partner if you have to sit at the (virtual or real) cabinet table again by Tuesday at the latest and make decisions together, often also having to make compromises. The Greens are no longer the opposition, they are part of the government. This does not require blind, uncontradicting obedience from them, but it does require discipline, above all from the members of the government, to first argue internally before distributing them externally.
In the same way, however, the Prime Minister is asked not only to allow the discourse on the matter, but even to promote it, but above all to lead it. Different perspectives on the same question are not bad per se. Only those who do not keep the threads of speech, action and bringing together in hand risk that this Kenya construct, which was fragile from the beginning, begins to fall apart internally.

The most important news in the morning:
+++ Saxony invests in educators +++
Saxony’s state government presented its budget plans on Tuesday. The benchmarks envisage an annual volume of around 21 billion for 2021 and 2022, as Finance Minister Hartmut Vorjohann (CDU) said at the presentation. That is a little more than in the current budget. Like the Vice Prime Ministers Wolfram Günther (Greens) and Martin Dulig (SPD), Vorjohann referred to the difficulties caused by the corona pandemic. Saxony will comply with the debt brake, said the finance minister. Saxony is not in debt to finance other projects. “That is important for the solidity,” emphasized the CDU minister. According to his account, 2,000 jobs will be created in the next two years. A big single item is educators.
+++ lawsuit because of the post of mayor of Dresden? +++
Things should go very quickly in Dresden in summer. The successor to Raoul Schmidt-Lamontain (Greens) as Dresden mayor did not want the Greens to become a hanging party. So they ran their own application process before the city even started its official process. An applicant is now taking action against this. Joachim Brockpähler (independent) had also applied in the internal process of the Greens, but received only a thin rejection. He believes it is illegal for a parliamentary group to decide who becomes mayor.
+++ Free State tightened rules for meetings +++
The Saxon state government is drawing the first conclusions from the “lateral thinking” demo in Leipzig that got out of hand. Meetings are to be limited to 1,000 participants in the future. In individual cases, larger rallies should also be possible if technical and organizational measures are taken to reduce the risk of infection, said government spokesman Ralph Schreiber on Tuesday after a cabinet meeting. So far, the Saxon Corona Protection Ordinance does not provide for any limitation on meetings. The new regulation should apply from Friday.
The “lateral thinking” demonstration last weekend that got out of hand will also occupy the Leipzig city council today. The parliamentary groups of the Left, the Greens and the SPD have each submitted urgent questions. In it they want to know from the city administration, among other things, how the situation was assessed in advance, what number of participants was expected, and why the meeting was only dissolved after more than two hours despite massive violations of the demo requirements. Due to the aggravated corona situation, the Leipzig city council does not meet in the town hall this afternoon, but in the larger Leipzig congress hall.
