The next federal-state summit is to take place on November 2nd. This is reported by the “Spiegel”. Olaf Scholz is said to have bowed to the pressure from the prime ministers.
Originally, the chancellor had offered a meeting a week later. But that was too late for the country leaders. Scholz therefore reacted and preferred the meeting.
At the last meeting in October, important questions about the energy crisis and how to deal with it were postponed at the Chancellor’s request. It was also about the distribution of costs between the federal and state governments. From the prime minister’s point of view, time is obviously pressing.
From Thursday, October 20th, the prime ministers will meet for their regular annual conference without Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The meeting in Hanover will last two days.
