The state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt is today discussing a possible extension of the lifetime of nuclear power plants. The FDP parliamentary group has requested a current debate on this. Group leader Andreas Silbersack said that energy security must also be guaranteed in the future. You have to decide “free of ideology” what is best for Germany. A nuclear power plant has never been in operation in Saxony-Anhalt. The construction of a mega-nuclear near Stendal, which had begun in the GDR era, was not completed after reunification.

In addition, the parliament in Magdeburg is debating structural change in the south of the country, a possible rescue package for hospitals and the occupation of a lecture hall in Halle. There, activists had recently occupied the lecture hall of the university for several days. AfD co-group leader Ulrich Siegmund had criticized the action. It cannot be that a university tolerates such conditions and responds to the demands of the “extremists”, he said.
