Overview
- The agreement preserves municipal funding packages and directs roughly €400 million in tax windfalls into the state reserve.
- Negotiators reversed many planned cuts in youth programs, school social work, culture, integration, adult education, and labor‑market measures.
- The compromise includes a kindergarten moratorium to prevent staff reductions and creates a Transformation Fund to safeguard jobs.
- The budget is slated for the budget and finance committee on 11 December, followed by a possible Landtag vote about a week later.
- The AfD denounced the deal as pushing new debt to record levels, while NGOs and Green activists rallied against reductions to integration, climate, and social services.
