Dresden deputy mayors oppose Hilbert’s spending cuts

Dresden’s deputy mayors for culture and social affairs, Annekatrin Klepsch and Kristin Kaufmann, oppose Mayor Dirk Hilbert’s planned cuts. Hilbert plans cuts to the DVB transport network, social services and culture to close a multimillion-euro budget gap.

He aims to save a total of €12 million in culture by 2031. Hilbert says the two deputy mayors have offered no way to fund their demands.
