How support for structurally weak areas in eastern Germany will be organized in the future – even after the solidarity pact expires – is the subject of discussion today in Bad Muskau. The state premiers are discussing ways to improve the infrastructure. Chancellor Angela Merkel is also expected to attend in the afternoon. One of the topics on the agenda is broadband expansion in Germany.
On this occasion, Dietmar Woidke gave an interview to the ARD morning show today and emphasized the importance of broadband Internet connections.
“Broadband access is just as important as building highways or roads. Today, it is a fundamental infrastructure measure “, says Woidke.
