At the Senate meeting on Tuesday, it will be discussed how the state should act if the mediation committee of the Bundestag and Bundesrat should make serious cuts to the previous plans. On Monday, the introduction of the citizen's allowance (Bürgergeld) as an alternative to Hartz IV planned by the traffic light coalition in the federal government failed in the Bundesrat. The mediation committee is to seek a compromise. Berlin is in favor of the Bürgergeld. However, the CDU and CSU oppose it, and the approval of CDU/CSU-governed states is required in the Bundesrat.
