Does black and red find the “Spirit of Würzburg”?
Just don’t argue like the traffic lights: the Union and the SPD had actually done that. After a lot of Zoff before summer, the coalition should go better – even in important everyday parliamentary life.
They are beginnings of a small black and red tradition that Alexander Hoffmann ties on. The head of the CSU MPs in the Bundestag is host of the first exam of the Union and SPD parliamentary group in the new joint government. It begins on Thursday in Würzburg, equally near his constituency. Already in 2018, after the start of the predecessor “Groko”, Alexander Dobrindt, as CSU national group leader, invited to such a conference to the 2,962 meter high Zugspitze, where he has his constituency.
On Germany’s highest mountain, the “Spirit of the Zugspitze”, the UnionPormann Volker Kauder (CDU), quickly spoke to get the coalition on the track. After bursting the black and yellow-green Jamaica option, she had to get together again. Now Hoffmann, Union faction leader Jens Spahn (CDU) and his SPD colleague Matthias Miersch is not so steep. But also in Würzburg at a height of 177 meters, it is about finding more team spirit after a bumpy start.
After a few breakdowns and friction in the first weeks of government, Schwarz-Rot came very locally. Because frequent arguments like once in traffic lights wanted to avoid – and now praise improvement. In the end, people would have to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to play together on Deutschlandfunk in advance. The problems in the coalition are usually concerned with questions of communication and organization. “But you can change that.” To do this, you have to discuss things together at an early stage.
The declared goal is also to develop confidence. Because the election of Friedrich Merz (CDU) as a chancellor in the Bundestag only worked on the second attempt. Then a constitutional judge failed because Spahn could no longer guarantee the Union’s approval as SPD candidate Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf. Miersch immediately made it clear to the address of CDU and CSU that commitments must exist. A test will be a test whether a next attempt in autumn will succeed in Brosius-Gersdorf’s waiver.
Don’t you want to miss anything from the star?
Personally, competent and entertaining: Editor -in -chief Gregor Peter Schmitz sends you the most important content from the star-Credaction and arranges what Germany talks about.
There were also obvious jerking within the Union camp in the coordination between the Chancellor, Group and the Party. Against the joint agreement in the coalition, only limited electricity tax and not reducing for everyone, protests from the Union and CDU Minister Prime Minister hailed. And when Merz announced a sub-stop for arms exports to Israel because of the escalation in the Gaza War, he received a lot of indignation from the CDU. Complaints about a lack of integration came from the CSU.
The difficult “autumn of reforms”
In terms of content, the political groups want to stake the plan for the second half of the year, in which several projects are supposed to get through. In addition to the struggle around the budgets 2025 and 2026, difficult social reforms are said to be. “After the first 100 sometimes jerky days, it is now important to set the central course for a successful autumn,” said SPD parliamentary group manager Dirk Wiese to the newspapers of the Funke Media Group. However, there is already a dispute over tax increases for riches that the SPD brought into play. The topic is also the security policy. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is expected.
