He is furthermore responsible for media policy and media laws in Saxony. He is also the first point of contact for any questions of principle.

Political Priorities
The Free State of Saxony and her people have come a long way in the past few years. A solid foundation was laid for the future. One of the main challenges of the past and present is the provision and security of new work places. The more we succeed in this aspect, the better we will be able to cope with issues like demographics and migration. The Free State of Saxony will contribute towards this issue with reforms of administration and functionalities, which are designed to adapt state structures to the changes in population and dwindling financial resources.
