Die Bundesregierung weist die Kritik der Initiative Neue Soziale Marktwirtschaft am Personalbestand des Bundes zurück. Obwohl sich Union und SPD im Koalitionsvertrag darauf geeinigt hatten, mindestens acht Prozent des Bestands in der Ministerial- und Bundestagsverwaltung sowie in bestimmten nachgeordneten Behörden abzubauen, sieht der Regierungsentwurf laut einer Studie der arbeitgebernahen Denkfabrik ein Plus von 12.347 Stellen für das kommende Jahr vor. „Die Regierung hält sich nicht mal an die Vorschläge der eigenen Experten und baut den Beamtenapparat kräftig aus“, bemängelte INSM-Geschäftsführer Thorsten Alsleben.

„Die Zahl ist nicht aktuell und zudem irreführend, wenn sie in den Zusammenhang mit dem Einsparziel von acht Prozent gesetzt wird“, kommentierte ein Regierungssprecher gegenüber WELT. „Dieses Ziel wurde bewusst nicht für die sicherheitsrelevanten Planstellen/Stellen bestimmter Behörden gesetzt (gemäß § 17 Abs. 2 Haushaltsgesetz 2026).“

Open Questions

  • Wie hoch ist der aktuelle Personalbestand der Bundesverwaltung genau?
  • Welche Behörden sind von den Einsparungen ausgenommen gemäß § 17 Abs. 2 Haushaltsgesetz 2026?
  • Wann soll der geplante Personalabbau stattfinden?

AfD top candidate Siegmund leads Saxony-Anhalt in state elections – despite financial gaps and fears of migrants

Ulrich Siegmund, 35, leads the AfD Saxony-Anhalt in the state elections. The party is leading in the polls, but its government program calls for abolishing the right to asylum, banning church asylum and ending inclusion in schools, while an institute calculates a funding gap of at least 2.2 billion euros annually. At the same time, 80 percent of migrants said in a survey that they would want to leave the country if the AfD came to power.

Russia as a security risk: Majority of Germans see threat, AfD supporters more skeptical

A survey shows that 56 percent of Germans see Russia as a strong or very strong threat to Germany's security, while 39 percent see it differently. This view is particularly shared by people over 65 and supporters of the governing parties, while two thirds of AfD supporters rate the threat as low or non-existent. At the same time, almost half of the population supports arms deliveries to Ukraine, while 42 percent see this as going too far.

Coalition plans tax increases and higher care contributions for service providers

The federal government plans not to compensate for the cold progression and to increase the contribution assessment limit for nursing care insurance, which means higher taxes and nursing care contributions for high earners. The Union faction is showing resistance, while the new Health Minister Carsten Linnemann is pushing ahead with the measure despite previous support from service providers.
