In view of the drama of the climate crisis, the traffic light should “not only talk about climate protection on Sundays”. The agreements of the coalition agreement are also valid for SPD and FDP. It cannot be overlooked that “it’s also jerky in the traffic light,” Haßelmann continued. Three very different parties were working together with different solutions.
But “the citizens are interested in what we achieve in the end”. The declining approval ratings for the traffic lights as a whole showed “that we are too busy with arguments and have to pay more attention to the implementation of the joint projects,” said Hasselmann.
The traffic light coalition is divided on some climate policy issues, such as the question of installing climate-friendly heating systems or the end of combustion engines at EU level.
