Are the Greens in the next ban debate?
The CDU, CSU and FDP see the single-family home debate as an open flank.
Is there even a power option wobbling?
Update from February 15, 2:05 p.m.:
In essence, it was a long foreseeable decision by a Hamburg district - but the single-family house dispute over the Greens continues to make waves: The ban on one-party houses in North Hamburg is threatening the fundamental debate become.
You could suddenly make the topic virulent in federal politics.
At the weekend, among other things, CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt raged heavily against the idea.
Another Union politician drew far-reaching conclusions a little later: Hamburg's CDU state chief Christoph Ploß is against a coalition of the Union with the Greens after the federal election, also in view of the house dispute.
"The Greens want to restrict the freedom of more and more citizens," he told the
picture
.
For example, “numerous Greens would court the anti-fascists and downplay left-wing extremism”.
And: “Prohibitions, nuisance and state tutelage” characterized the green economic and climate protection policy.
As an example, he cited driving bans in Germany's major cities or the demand by Green politicians to restrict air travel by Germans.
Last but not least, “more and more Green politicians wanted to prevent the construction of single-family houses in certain areas”.
Meanwhile, Linke boss Bernd Riexinger has also called for a rethink in the construction of single-family houses.
"You have to reduce land consumption, for social reasons and for reasons of climate protection," he told the editorial network Germany.
“That is why we cannot continue with the single-family houses as we have before.
Instead, we should concentrate in the cities and build plots in such a way that more apartments come out - above all more affordable apartments. "

First report from February 14th:
Berlin / Munich - Corona and nothing else?
Not quite: Political Germany can also get excited about other issues: For almost two weeks now, the Greens and their special attitude towards a symbol of Federal Republican bourgeoisie have been heating up people.
At the weekend, the party's parliamentary group was even forced to clarify.
Greens in new ban debate?
The single-family house dispute does not want to abate
The stumbling block: In the Hamburg district of North, a Green politician had banned the construction of single-family houses in accordance with the red-green coalition agreement.
"Prohibition" accusations quickly became loud.
At the request of
Merkur.de
, the Greens federal party said: Depending on the specific situation, such funds are also conceivable elsewhere.
In regions with less settlement pressure, however, the single-family house remains a legitimate form of new construction, even for the Greens.
Then Bundestag parliamentary group leader Anton Hofreiter followed up.
“Single-party houses consume a lot of space, a lot of building materials, a lot of energy, they cause urban sprawl and thus even more traffic,” he told
Spiegel
.
In cities there is also a "gigantic housing shortage", in other regions, however, the value of houses is falling "into the basement".
Hofreiter was asked about the decision of a Hamburg district office in the interview.
He justified this decision with the "dramatic housing shortage" in the area.
The district decided to create living space for many instead of a few.
At the same time, Hofreiter made it clear: "Of course the Greens don't want to ban their own four walls."
CSU against Greens: "Ideological fight of the left-green against property"
From the Union and the FDP there were still fierce headwinds.
“The Greens have apparently discovered the single-family home as a new enemy.
Behind it lies the ideological struggle of the left-green against property, ”said CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt of the
picture
:“ Instead of promoting and protecting property, the Greens rely on patronizing, expropriating and forbidding ”- from the sometimes very Green-friendly course no trace of Dobrindt's party leader Markus Söder at this point.
"Anton Hofreiter shows once again, as an example, for the Greens their disturbed relationship to property and the reality of life in rural areas", the Thuringian CDU state chairman Christian Hirte had already explained to the newspaper the day before.
"The Greens want to ruin people's dream of owning a home," criticized Daniel Föst, spokesman for building and housing policy for the FDP parliamentary group.
He also referred to wishes for social advancement: More home ownership would reduce inequality in society.
"Green vigilantes who have long had their flocks in the dry and have a home of their own have an easy time talking."
Single-family house squabble: Greens counter CSU attack - "probably not really read the interview"
The Green Group reacted on Sunday.
"The allegations are wrong," said a parliamentary group spokesman on Sunday for the German press agency.
“For many people, their own four walls are important - this includes a single family home.
That will continue to exist in the future - like terraced houses, apartment buildings, apartment buildings. ”The local authorities decided what was to be built and where.
This also takes into account how much space there is and how much vacancy there is.
Hofreiter was
exaggerated
after an interview with
Der Spiegel
, the spokesman also wrote on Twitter.
"The spiral of excitement is already underway: Political competitors react, presumably without actually reading the interview." The news magazine deleted a tweet on the topic itself on the grounds that the introduction to the text was "misleading".
Merkur.de
had already declared a few days ago the Federal Greens that the situation in the municipalities was "very different".
The aim is "good and affordable living for the broadest of society" - in "city and country".
What remains of the debate among the voters seems open.
In the super election year, the Greens were recently in the polls in many places.
