Schwerin (dpa/mv) – In the past five years, the state government has spent a high single-digit million amount on personnel advertising. With a view to the upcoming age-related departures in the medium term, they are aware of the increased relevance of personnel recruitment measures for recruiting young people and will continue to carry them out, the red-red government replied to a small request from the AfD parliamentary group. For example, money flowed into a teacher advertising campaign, but also for labor advertising campaigns in other areas, such as tourism or crafts.
The AfD sees most of the advertising measures, the total amount of which it calculated at 7.9 million euros in the years 2017 to 2021, as self-preservation measures. The financial policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, Martin Schmidt, criticized on Tuesday that only 25,000 euros had been spent on the craft. On the other hand, money was spent primarily on recruiting young people for the state administration and for the judiciary. “The AfD faction calls for state funds to be aligned with the needs of the labor market and not those of the government,” said Meister.
