Schwerin (dpa / mv) – Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Prime Minister Manuela Schwesig (SPD) will mainly visit flagship companies on her summer tour, which begins on Friday. She wants to complete 17 appointments in seven days, as the head of government announced in Schwerin on Thursday. In addition to company visits, this also includes visits to the German Maritime Museum in Stralsund together with Federal Building Minister Klara Geywitz (SPD), the Wismar Sweden Festival and the zoo in Schwerin.

According to Schwesig, the focus of the summer tour is on business and work. The preservation and creation of new jobs is and remains the most important task of the state government, she said. The energy crisis and inflation bothered citizens and companies. “That’s why it’s important to look at how we as a country can support, but above all where are the future issues.”

On the first day of the tour, Schwesig wants to visit the Hoeller Elektrolyzer company in Wismar and find out about the progress of the major topic of green hydrogen. According to her words, the state government wants to spend 800 million euros in the upcoming double budget for the expansion of renewable energies. This also includes the conversion into hydrogen, which is intended to be used to store the irregularly occurring wind and solar power. So far, however, the costs have been high. Schwesig replied that many were initially skeptical about wind power and that today it is marketable and a great success.

In the district of Ludwigslust-Parchim, visits to an export-oriented confectionery manufacturer and a successful meat processor are on the agenda for next Monday. On Tuesday, Schwesig wants to open the Schwerin State Zoo Day with free entry for all children up to the age of 14. On Wednesday is the head of government in the district of Mecklenburgische Seenplatte, where, in addition to company visits, the state government’s export evening in Neubrandenburg is also to take place. Further dates apply to agriculture on Thursday and tourism on the Baltic Sea coast on Friday next week. It should also address the shortage of skilled workers.

Schwerin (dpa/mv) – The slowdown in inflation seen since the beginning of the year has continued in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. As reported by the Statistical Office in Schwerin on Wednesday, the annual inflation rate in the north-east fell to 6.5 percent in May and thus fell below the 7 percent mark for the first time in a year. Despite the recent decline, consumers in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania felt the price increases compared to the previous year more clearly than in other federal states. Across Germany, prices rose by 6.1 percent in May compared to the same month last year.

People in the north-east had to dig deeper into their pockets than a year ago, especially for groceries. According to statistics, food was 15.2 percent more expensive in May. 19.6 percent more had to be paid for baked goods and 19.8 percent more for vegetables. Some of the price premiums for dairy products were even higher, but butter prices continued to fall.

Prices for fuel, which were among the biggest price drivers in the previous year, continued to fall. Diesel and petrol were 14.3 percent cheaper than a year ago. As was the case with gas customers, district heating customers are now feeling the effects of the energy crisis. They had to pay 41.8 percent more in May than a year ago. Visits to restaurants and hotels also became more expensive.

Compared to the previous month of April, consumer prices in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania fell by a minimum of 0.2 percent.

The European Central Bank (ECB) is trying to dampen inflation with higher interest rates. Because higher interest rates make loans more expensive, which can slow down demand. The central bank is aiming for stable prices overall for the euro area with an inflation rate of two percent.

In terms of the goals for the season, this means in concrete terms: More wins and a better place in the table. “For me, the Vorpommern Vandals and the Potsdam Royals II are favorites for the championship. We want to annoy these two teams.” Prospectively, promotion could also become an issue for Schwerin in the coming years

Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Extends Schools’ Flexibility for Distance Learning Amidst Illness

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com April 12, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Schwerin (dpa / mv) – The schools in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania can continue to switch to partial or complete distance learning independently in the event of many cases of illness among the teachers. The Ministry of Education in Schwerin extended the so-called phase model until the end of this school year, according to a statement on Wednesday.

Initially, the regulation conceived during the corona pandemic should only remain in force until the Easter holidays, which ended on Wednesday. With the extension, the school management can now continue to act flexibly in order to secure lessons in the event of increased sick leave from teachers.

The Education and Science Union (GEW) welcomed the extension. This model is intended to flexibly counter acute waves of illness. “This was what the school management wanted and was supported by the Education and Science Union in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania,” said Nico Leschinski, head of GEW. Especially in terms of the independent school, it is necessary for school management to be able to act quickly if several teachers are ill at the same time and bottlenecks arise.

On Thursday, lessons began again for the 160,000 students at the general schools in MV. The final exams will start soon.

The written exams for the Abitur begin on April 26 with the subject German. The first intermediate school-leaving exam is also scheduled for June 2 in German. With a view to the after-effects of the corona pandemic, the state has specified the material relevant to the exam again this year, as it was said. In addition, the students would have 30 minutes more time per exam.

Schwerin (dpa/mv) – Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania’s Economics Minister is pleased to approve plans to approve hardship aid for companies that rely on heating oil, wood and pellets. “This is absolutely the right signal, which the economy has been waiting for a long time,” said Reinhard Meyer on Tuesday in Schwerin. However, due to the back and forth in Berlin, time was wasted unnecessarily.

As the German Press Agency learned on Tuesday, according to an agreement reached by the traffic light economic politicians in Berlin, the funds for the hardship regulation are to be increased by 25 million euros. At the end of January, the budget committee of the Bundestag released 375 million euros for hardship support for small and medium-sized companies – but this did not include any aid for heating oil and pellets.

State Minister of Economics Meyer emphasized the importance of supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and consumers: “It is crucial that the originally agreed support for hardship aid is made available in full,” he said.

According to the information, the north-east is to receive 20 million euros in SME hardship funds from the federal government and funds in the same amount from the state treasury. In addition, there are 10 million euros for loans in the event of material price increases and supply chain disruptions. According to the ministry in Schwerin, there are also guarantees and loans to ensure liquidity.
