The Greens are beaming, the SPD is at least the chancellor and the third parties in the traffic light coalition are going under completely. The political scientist Albrecht von Lucke speaks of a “total failure”.
A traffic light consists of three colors in most cases, but the yellow phase at the traffic light is similar to the yellow in the traffic light coalition. The yellow ones are there, but somehow they don’t really make a difference, it’s kind of an in-between phase. When it’s yellow, it’s ambiguous, you can still quickly cross the street, but it’s not yet red. And so some heads of the FDP are completely lost in the government. Have you ever heard the name Bettina Stark-Watzinger? This is actually the Minister of Education.
Missed traffic turnaround
Transport Minister Volker Wissing turns up every now and then, but, as Albrecht von Lucke, a political journalist from the monthly newspaper “Blätter für deutsche und Internationale Politik”, says, he completely missed out on initiating a turnaround in transport. The 49-euro ticket could have been his big breakthrough. But this successor to the popular 9-euro ticket has been the subject of debate for so many weeks and months that hardly anyone is interested in it anymore. On Friday it was again agreed that the ticket should come as early as possible, but probably not until April or May.
And then there are also attacks from the FDP against the government itself. Albrecht von Lucke calls it “The principle of opposition to the government, from the government” that the deputy FDP chairman, Wolfgang Kubicki, is also applying. “In terms of content, the FDP is a total failure in this coalition,” said von Lucke in the 423rd edition of the podcast “important today”.
Christian Lindner’s tactics don’t work
The second part of the traffic light analysis with “important today” moderator Michel Abdollahi and Albrecht von Lucke also deals with the finance minister’s tactics: “Christian Lindner completely miscalculated, he believed that if he got the ministry he wanted, the big, strong Ministry of Finance, if he kept the country on track and on track, black zero, no new debts, then he would be the shining star of the middle-class Clientele. That is of course completely obsolete as of February 24,” says von Lucke.
According to the political scientist, there is no idea, an overall concept for the traffic light government as a whole, which must come primarily from Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
