| Message | Mrs President, Apparently, the HDU is not willing to support the Minister. The VBR faction is interested to know how the HDU and the Minister respond to that, Manfred Klüner VBR Spokesman for Social Security and Welfare |

| Message | Mr. Kluner, We fully support the delegation of power above the homeless shelters. However we believe that regionalization of child benefit granting authority to each separator state would be a step too far and could create some inequalities between our future generations.
