Linder warns: Central interventions threaten community skills!

Maximilian Linder, the freedom spokesman for municipal matters, urges the government's centralistic endeavors, which could endanger the competencies of the communities. In his most recent statement, he criticized the plans that the "planning and dedication skills should be bundled more at the state level". This is under the pretext of regulating soil consumption, while the actual decisions about local projects such as wind turbines or photovoltaic systems, the population and the municipalities are passed by, Linder said. According to OTS such measures endanger the direct democracy and the right to self-determination of citizens.
