Hardless and agile – the grand coalition hangs on the silk thread
Friedrich Merz and his GroKo negotiators? Look weak in the debate about the turnover of the debt, without style and orientation. That can still be cheerful.
What was that? Anyone who believed that Friedrich Merz and Lars Klingbeil would be full of energy to the Bundestag to confidently promote their debt plan this Thursday was taught a better one. The two GroKo builders looked as powerless and agile as if they did not have four years of reigning-but as a result of their alliance.
Klingbeil gave a speech that a AI could have been writing, Steinmeierisch Staszenlich, without any modulation. Merz was even worse.
Sure, his location is complicated. He needs the Greens in order to be able to quickly decide on the fabulous expensive maneuver in the old Bundestag. But instead of approaching them objectively, he spell on in the plenary in patronage, which he would add to them in his project. Billions for climate protection, a new name for the planned special fund. “What else do you want?” He called, managing it, with a speech that was actually designed to make a compromise easier to go to the Greens. Wow.
The Greens have an argument in the dispute with Merz
He is the need for explanation, exceptionally not the others. Merz promotes historically high debts, although he looked like a small Lindner in the election campaign. He discovers climate protection for himself after the topic was almost completely missing in his campaign. The billion plan may be completely correct in terms of state policy. A project was rarely put up.
Merz lacks the sense of the situation, for the sensitivity of his billion -dollar maneuver – apparently also for the silk thread the grand coalition hangs and the chancellery that he will soon start.
Of course, the Greens can still go with them, the democratic center can hardly afford failure in this world situation. But household -political nonchalance must be excluded, it takes a guarantee that the construction that Merz and Klingbeil has in mind does not serve to finance expensive election promises. The Greens are absolutely right. The fact that she must remind Merz and the Union of order policy traditions is one of the adventurous developments of these days. The Greens therefore do not seem particularly anxious to endure as irresponsible journeyman in the end, the billion plan should fail.
The message of this day is: either Merz comes towards you at this point. Or he risks to stand without a majority when voting on the billion plan.
Blame yourself, you would have to call.
