The dispute over the amount of the radio license has put the coalition in Saxony-Anhalt before a litmus test. Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) is now withdrawing the bill. It is not without risk.
reThe planned increase in the license fee from € 17.50 to € 18.36 on January 1, 2021 has failed. Reiner Haseloff (CDU) announced at a cabinet meeting Tuesday morning that he would withdraw the corresponding bill as the Prime Minister of Saxony-Anhalt. Thus, Haseloff ignored legal concerns at the State Chancellery that he or the state government could be liable for damages if they, and not the state parliament, prevent the increase in contributions.

Haseloff relies on a statement by the three leaders of parliamentary groups from the ruling CDU, SPD and Greens parties that there is no majority in the state parliament for the project. With the withdrawal of the bill, Haseloff extinguished the crisis of the coalition and the CDU prevailed with its no to the rate increase. In coalition circles, the first assessment is that the CDU, SPD and Greens Kenyan coalition may continue to exist. However, more disputes are expected at the federal and state levels.
