The heads of government of the federal states have started their renewed consultations on the implementation of planned relief in the energy crisis. The prime ministers met on Thursday at the state representation of Lower Saxony in Berlin. In the afternoon, talks with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) are to be continued in the Federal Chancellery.

According to the state government of Lower Saxony, which chairs the conference of prime ministers, there is a need for clarification between the federal and state governments, for example on financing issues to support small and medium-sized companies and the 49-euro ticket for local transport.

A total of 25 people from the Reich citizen scene were arrested in the nationwide raid. Among them the nobility: Heinrich XIII. Prince Reuss has long been known as a Reich citizen and was destined to become head of state.

The government introduces citizen income and thus abolishes the Hartz IV system. Civil servants benefit twice from the salary adjustment. They receive higher salaries and higher pensions. And other civil servants will also benefit from the salary increase.
