The paralyzing discord of the traffic light

Christian Lindner had an interesting appearance on the TV talk show "Anne Will" on Sunday. The Minister of Finance let the bewildered onlookers know that he already had an "idea" of how the immense financing requirements for a gas price brake could be satisfied without the debt brake in the constitution having to be revoked again. However, he does not want to talk about this "idea" at this point in time because, well, there is still no agreement in the traffic light coalition.

It is precisely this disagreement - and not the Chancellor's corona infection - that is likely to be the decisive reason for the postponement of the conference of federal and state heads of government. There is simply no political basis on which the Chancellor could agree with the Prime Ministers on further measures to combat the energy price crisis.

Its pivotal point is currently the gas price brake. Only when the traffic light coalition has agreed on the cornerstones and financing of this central measure can the federal and state governments talk about the remaining needs with the prospect of consensus. And they are huge too.

Stuttgart Prime Minister Kretschmann briefly raised the curtain on Tuesday and let the unsettled audience know what would be necessary for the states in the Bundesrat to at least agree to the coalition's third, long-unsatisfactory relief package.

Billions for local transport, billions for higher housing allowances, billions for hospitals, billions for caring for refugees. Billions more – Putin's war will take care of that – will be added.

It would therefore be extremely desirable if Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor and Minister of Finance, if Red-Green-Yellow use the free Wednesday afternoon to finally end the paralyzing disagreement of the traffic light coalition. Gladly also via video conference.
