The Saxon state parliament will debate poverty and education in the Free State on Thursday (from 10.00 a.m.). The two topics were added to the parliamentary agenda at the request of the Left Party and the Christian Democrats respectively.

Before the topical hour, Justice Minister Katja Meier (Greens) will make a government statement on challenges to the rule of law and democracy. Meier is also responsible for Europe, equality and democracy in the government.

Several legislative amendments are on the agenda later. These include improving the integration of migrants, petitions and the language used by authorities. The left-wing party wants a law to lift the ban on dancing on Good Friday.
