In the internal meeting, however, the FDP leadership made it clear that the Union must now “pull over” the Greens. And that tomorrow, Tuesday, will be the decisive day for it. Because: In the morning, the Union and the Greens come together for a first exploratory round.
From the FDP leadership there was a tough announcement to the Union on Sunday: “We have an interest in Jamaica! Do you have it too? Do you want it? Do you have the nerve? Are you closed? “
