In the spirit of the coalition peace, the Greens will probably not submit an official application for Tempo 30 in the city.
This indicated faction leader Florian Roth.
Munich - The anger had not yet subsided among all those involved on Thursday.
But the big coalition crisis or even the break in the coalition does not seem to grow out of the "Tempo 30 dispute".
As reported, the Greens had intended to make a city council motion, according to which Tempo 30 should be the standard speed in the city.
The only exceptions are main arteries such as the Middle Ring.
To do this, you should apply to the federal government for a model test.
Above all, the city party of the Greens and their district committee chairman were the driving force behind the initiative.
Mayor Dieter Reiter: The Greens' approach is "extremely unprofessional"
The proposal pissed off the Munich * government partner SPD.
First, because the Social Democrats see no point in a general speed limit.
And because the advance was not coordinated.
Harsh words were used.
SPD parliamentary group leader Christian Müller spoke of “blind car hatred”, while his equal chairwoman Anna Hübner accused the Greens of “arrogance”.
Lord Mayor Dieter Reiter also did not spoil himself.
The procedure was "extremely unprofessional and not suitable to demonstrate sustainable government ability," he said.
The Greens, in turn, were irritated by the SPD's sharp choice of words.
"Especially since our position at 30 km / h was nothing new," as Roth explained.
His party colleague and Second Mayor Katrin Habenschaden is also said to have been very upset about the tone of the criticism.
That was not a way of dealing, it was said from party circles.
The discussion also boiled up in the readership of our newspaper (see below.)
On Monday there is the Tempo 30 summit in the Munich coalition
Presumably, next week's crisis talks will also be about rhetorical disarmament in the moderation of conflicts.
SPD parliamentary group leader Müller told our newspaper on Thursday that in terms of content he was still on the criticism that a nationwide introduction of Tempo 30 in the city would not be expedient.
“We also have to think about our economy.” However, he admits that the choice of words was due to the current annoyance.
He does not consider the continuation of the coalition to be at risk: "I am not an advocate of the principle: in the potatoes, out of the potatoes."
Roth had already made a similar statement on Wednesday.
On Thursday he said the disagreement would be discussed on Monday.
“We want to do common politics.” Should the SPD refuse the request for Tempo 30 - and that's what it looks like - “let's leave it,” said the Green parliamentary leader.
It makes no sense in the coalition work to want to crack down on something that does not find a majority in the city council.

Tempo 30 in Munich?
Here is a picture of the mood of the readership:
The reactions were fierce - and they were clear: the readers of our newspaper reject the Greens proposal for nationwide Tempo 30 with a clear majority.
It is possible that the mood in the population has moved the parliamentary group not to propose the motion after all.
Hildegard Kobras criticizes the idea as "exaggerated", which in her opinion would "limit the quality of life of the population".
Also, she notes, “you don't get to your destination quickly”.
School bus driver Dolores Eichinger also has this to consider: Her tour would be extended by half an hour or more - at the expense of the schoolchildren.
Your conclusion: “That won't work”.
Driving instructor Hannes Fesl even suspects that one is following “the principle of ideological destruction”.
He asks himself: "Why are the Greens not so honest and call their 'world views' directly?" Other readers worry that a nationwide speed limit is not controllable and that such a forced decrease in car traffic would also tear holes in the tax coffers .
The Greens, according to one letter, turned “a wheel that is far too big”.
There is also encouragement for Tempo 30 in Munich
Of course there is also encouragement.
So writes reader Erik Doffek, Tempo 30 will come “because it is simply due”.
If “auto ideologists” delayed this, even more pedestrians and cyclists would lose health or life senselessly.
Another reader asks briefly and succinctly: "Middle ring 60, two-lane streets in each direction 50, rest 30".
But such reminders remain isolated cases in the sometimes shrill concert of opinions.
The vast majority show that they do not want to know anything about a nationwide speed limit.
There are high hopes in Mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD), who should whistle back "these cocky Greens" before "only bike rambos are on the road and fight a daily battle with the pedestrians with desolate abuse", as the reader Karin Wänke fears.
Munich: convert all side streets into bicycle streets?
Reader Christine Gladus takes refuge in sarcasm and suggests taking the whole thing to the extreme: All of the side streets should be rededicated as cycle streets, "then all cyclists in all of Munich have legal freedom from fooling and motorists are in the (environmental) corner of sin" .
Others are fundamentally and see motorists discriminated - more in Munich than elsewhere.
Again and again the term "chicane" comes up, the Greens are the "prohibition and prohibition party".
Perhaps it is the fear of this image that the group is now giving in.
