German Green Party Proposes 25% Staff Reduction in Federal Ministries

The initiative aims to streamline bureaucracy and enhance digital services by 2034.

The proposal suggests shifting more responsibilities to subordinate federal agencies to reduce bureaucratic overhead.
A central app is envisioned to facilitate citizen interaction with public administration, simplifying access to services.
The plan includes establishing a 'Digital State Agency' to develop essential digital components like a unified ID system.
Authors of the proposal advocate for a gradual simplification of federal legislation to empower local governments.
The initiative also calls for a federal disciplinary attorney to protect the administration from constitutional threats.
