Before the next deliberations between the Greens and the FDP, the federal spokesman for the Green Youth, Georg Kurz, believes that cooperation with the Liberals is feasible.
“I perceive a common interest in reaching an agreement.
That could be something, ”he said on Bavarian radio.
Despite points of conflict with the liberals, he assumed that a traffic light coalition would be formed from the SPD, the Greens and the FDP in order to achieve the climate protection goals.
Last week it sounded different.
"Unfortunately, the only thing behind the fresh image of the FDP is the old story of the miraculous forces of the market," Kurz said of the liberals.
After the election, the FDP is responsible for making politics for the whole of society "and not just for those who already no longer know what to do with their millions."
With a view to differences with the FDP, Kurz now said: “You don't have to hide the fact that we are very divided.
The very question of how do you actually want to become climate neutral?
Do you just put a huge price on CO2, as the FDP wants?
Or do you develop climate-neutral state infrastructure? «There are certainly still many hurdles to overcome.
New rounds of talks
The top committees of the Greens and FDP want to draw an interim conclusion of the talks on the formation of a new government in separate meetings on Wednesday.
Both parties are being courted by the Union and the SPD as partners for a three-party coalition.
In his view, the Union is not ready to form a coalition, said Kurz with a view to an equally possible Jamaican alliance with the Greens and the FDP under the leadership of the CDU / CSU.
"Not even the Union itself believes that it works with it at the moment."
There one warned of breaches of trust in the exploratory talks.
The chairman of the Junge Union, Tilman Kuban, called for no details from the exploratory talks to be disclosed, as agreed.
"We would do well to keep everyone in politics, perhaps even confidential conversations, confidential," he says on Deutschlandfunk.
After the talks between the Union and the FDP and the Greens, details had become known for which the two smaller parties hold the Union responsible.
The necessary renewal of the CDU could succeed both in the government and in the opposition, says Kuban.
CDU boss Armin Laschet had received the mandate to hold talks about forming a government.
Laschet could also achieve the renewal of the party as Chancellor with a new young team at his side.
