The costs of emergency services continue to cause disputes in Brandenburg. The state government has rejected two opposition motions.

Two opposition motions on financing false alarms in the emergency services failed in the Brandenburg state parliament on Thursday. The state government rejected the proposals from the AfD and BSW, which sought to increase the state’s responsibility.

Health Minister Wilke (SPD) is now relying on help from Berlin. He hopes the federal government will find a solution to the controversial costs. The debate over emergency service financing in Brandenburg thus continues.
