Overview
- The positions paper proposes cutting the state workforce from roughly 94,000 to 80,000 by 2035 through real job reductions rather than deleting vacancies.
- It calls for sweeping bureaucracy reduction, including no Saxony-only add-ons to federal or EU law, a large cut in approval offices by 2027, binding processing deadlines and a 'one in – two out' rule for new regulations.
- Fiscal goals include raising the investment share to at least 20% of spending, protecting the Generationenfonds for pensions and reordering state–municipal finances in light of municipal deficits near €1 billion in 2025 with a 'who orders pays' principle for new mandates.
- Education priorities target severe class cancellations and seek stronger dual vocational training with greater support for vocational schools and career guidance across all school types.
- On labor supply, the alliance urges a clear separation of skilled migration from asylum policy, faster work-migration procedures with stronger employer involvement and support for municipalities; the Economics Ministry said it received the proposals 'with interest.'
