Green Chancellor candidate Baerbock concretized a few projects over the weekend.

Especially her ideas about living and short-haul flights get angry with some.

Berlin - The Chancellor candidates from the Union, Greens and SPD have now been determined, and the parties are now increasingly concentrating on their program.

The SPD has already decided on theirs at a party congress.

The Greens are working towards their party congress.

And the Union is also working on the drafting.

The candidates are now trying to set their main topics, primarily with the help of speeches and interviews.

At the weekend, Greens * -Hope Annalena Baerbock * answered the questions of

Bild am Sonntag

.

And their demands met with some criticism.

SPD man Florian Post on Annalena Baerbock's proposal: "Living in big cities is priceless"

"They make living in big cities priceless," says Florian Post, SPD member of the Bundestag, opposite

Focus Online

.

Baerbock wants that in the future “usually only a new solar roof will be built”.

Post is of the opinion that the election manifesto of the Greens is particularly toxic for living in city centers.

The Greens keep making headlines with the topic - for example with their discussion about single-family houses * in February.

Baerbock's push for short-haul flights, which she wants to abolish in the future, was also much commented on at the weekend.

A “climate-friendly taxation of flights” should stop dumping prices.

Criticism came quickly from the Union and FDP.

Air travel would have to remain “affordable for everyone,” said Union parliamentary group vice-president Ulrich Lange (CSU *) to the

editorial network in Germany

.

It would be "unsocial if the flight on vacation were a privilege for the wealthy".

FDP * parliamentary director Marco Buschmann described Baerbock's plans as an example of the “prohibition fetish” of the Greens.

"We do not want any micro-management of daily life by Ms. Baerbock," he told the

Saarbrücker Zeitung

.

Green Chancellor candidate Baerbock wants to abolish short-haul flights - reaction: "On the wrong track"

SPD man Post also reacts cautiously to this issue: "If short-haul domestic flights are abolished, I first want to see whether there are still protests by the Greens who want to block every new rail route because of a field mouse that lives there." Getting on the way cannot and should not take 30 years.

SPD Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz * announced a few days ago that he would also take action against cheap flights.

The ranks of the left have already called for a kerosene tax to be introduced on domestic flights.

The Federal Government's Tourism Commissioner, Thomas Bareiß, warned that climate protection should not come at the expense of vacation planning for low-income families.

“I think that traveling and flying must also be possible in the future for every budget and not become a luxury for a few.

Climate protection and CO2 reduction must be intelligent and implemented using new technologies.

Anyone who believes that bans and disproportionate price increases are the right means is on the wrong track, "said the CDU * politician of the German press agency.

SPD MP Florian Post on Olaf Scholz: "In terms of attack, he has to go a step further"

Florian Post identifies the Greens as the “main opponent” in the race for votes in the 2021 federal election * and calls on his party to take more of a line of battle: “Treating the Greens more softly because we may want to form a coalition with them is not the right way”, he says.

And he also wants to see more of Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz: "I don't know who advises Olaf Scholz on election campaigns, but he has to go a

step further when it comes to attacks

."
