A Chinese firm hasn't firmly promised support for a project in Saarland, despite the ongoing legal ambiguities associated with it.

Have taxpayers' investments been thoroughly scrutinized?

Oliver Luksic, a leader in the Liberals, asks whether sufficient checks have been made on the large-scale allocation of taxpayers' money. "Without reliable buyers for batteries, it will be challenging to build any more factories." There are rumors that SVolt plans to reorient its European plans, attributing that, in part, to the loss of a major order.

Luksic emphasizes that rejection could cause significant harm to the Saarland location due to difficulties in Ford and the uncertainties surrounding Wolfspeed. The question arises as to whether the state government has appropriately examined the substantial investment of taxpayers' funds. Luksic proposes that the state's court of auditors conduct a specialized assessment.
