The most powerful selfie in Germany! The top of the FDP and the Greens staged themselves casually like a pop band on Tuesday evening, uploading a group photo they took in the social networks already cult is.
Message: We are tinkering with the next government here. And if we agree, the SPD and Union can audition with their candidates for chancellor and address themselves to us.
But in order to be really powerful, the lime-lemon coalition must first find itself. And there are not only stones, but real abysses in the way, says the political scientist Prof. Dr. Jürgen Falter (University of Mainz).
Falter does not believe in a sure-fire success like with the already ruling state coalitions in Schleswig-Holstein (Jamaica) and Rhineland-Palatinate (traffic light): “It’s a completely different game on the big stage,” he says.
Where is the catch between green and yellow …
… and where are the negotiations relatively unproblematic? BILD does the quick check!
▶ ︎Topic taxes: This is where the trouble is likely to be greatest. The FDP promises: tax increases? Not with us! Quite different, the Greens: They are more in line with the SPD in terms of government spending, want a higher minimum wage and overall more tax collection and redistribution.
Are compromises possible? Not with taxes that go to the substance like the wealth tax – it can only be introduced or not. With other taxes, you can keep the amount stable, but you can expand the collection base.
▶ ︎Topic climate: The Greens are under pressure, are being driven by groups like “Fridays for Future” to more and more climate protection in the sense of an increasingly expensive policy with a lot of regulation and bans. Rather, the FDP believes that innovation and the market better advance climate protection. However, with the CO2 price, the market solution can also provide expensive climate protection.
One thing is clear: there can be no citrus coalition (green-yellow like lime and lemon) without climate concessions to the Greens.
▶ ︎Topic civil rights: Both parties are similar here, because both the FDP and the Greens are socially liberal. In principle, the parties are close here – with one big cultural difference: the Greens gender like no one else, the FDP sees it critically.
▶ ︎ Topic of digitization: Both can only benefit from the wasteland that the GroKo left behind.
▶ ︎ Topic traffic: Green and yellow are “far apart”, as the transport policy spokesman for the FDP parliamentary group, Oliver Luksic (41), explains to BILD. “The FDP has the interests of motorists fully in view”. The Greens, on the other hand, intend to restrict motorists, want speed limits and car-free city centers.
BUT: FDP leader Christian Lindner (42) already let it be known that he could give in on the subject of speed limits on motorways. It is also clear that the CO2 price increases have already been specified, so petrol and diesel will definitely be significantly more expensive.
In other words, the FDP will not prevent motorists from losing out in the elections either.
▶︎Thema Migration: Both parties want a modern immigration society. BUT: There are considerable differences when it comes to asylum and deportation. FDP Vice Wolfgang Kubicki (69) wants to be able to deport to Afghanistan even after the chaos in Kabul, the Greens can hardly afford to take part with a view to their base.
▶ ︎Drug Policy: Perhaps an omen for the soundings, this scene on “Maischberger” (ARD) on Wednesday evening: “Ask about ‘release cannabis’,” said Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (63, FDP), who suggested the talk show host when she spoke to the Greens -Legend Claudia Roth (66) sat in the group.
Both women also gave their answer at the same time: “Yes!” – and laughingly congratulated each other with a fist check.
