The traffic lights negotiate again on Wednesday.

Before that, however, she wants to present her first joint plan - on the subject of Corona.

The first details are already known.

  • On Wednesday (October 27th) the SPD *, Greens and FDP will continue the traffic light coalition talks.

  • Open questions are to be clarified in 22 working groups, at different times and in different places.

  • First, the possible traffic light wants to present an urgent plan: In the morning (10 a.m.) a declaration on a joint successor solution for the epidemic situation is scheduled.

Berlin - The three traffic light parties * start their coalition negotiations on Wednesday - but they only want to express themselves

before the

start of the talks.

And this public appointment is not about the government plan for the next four years.

But about a measure that has to be before the traffic lights start.

It's about the first acid test for the alliance: SPD, Greens * and FDP want to present their plan for the time after the "epidemic situation".

Traffic light coalition negotiations: Scholz, Lindner and Co. are fighting with the first major corona task

Jens Spahn - officially only managing minister of health since Tuesday - had recently rolled a first stumbling block in the way of the traffic light *: He brought an end to the epidemic situation, the basis of almost all corona measures, on the way.

But he no longer wanted to build the next solution himself.

In doing so, on the one hand, he followed the will of the SPD, Greens and FDP, who urged the current government to exercise restraint.

On the other hand, he also put the possible traffic light partners under direct pressure.

Especially since the prime ministers immediately returned the buck to finding a solution to Berlin.

Traffic light wants to replace “epidemic situation”: First basic features of the regulation already leaked

The thrust of the traffic light has already leaked "from party circles": According to a report by the

editorial network Germany

, the "epidemic situation of national scope" should not be extended when it expires on November 25th. A transitional regulation should enable the federal states to enforce certain corona protective measures such as wearing a mask *, distance requirements and the 3G and 2G rules even after the emergency pandemic has expired.

This should be achieved by changing paragraph 28a of the Infection Protection Act, it said.

So far, there is an extensive catalog of possible protective rules up to exit and contact restrictions, all of which are linked to the determination of the pandemic emergency.

The

RND

reported that a corresponding bill should then be drawn up and passed by the new Bundestag in November

.

The SPD, the Greens and the FDP want to present their “key points” on Wednesday at 10 a.m.

So it does not look as if the possible coalition will shatter on this first test.

Traffic light: first results by early November?

Greens boss Habeck already explains personnel consequences

Then things get serious in the coalition negotiations.

The exploratory paper * provides the framework for the talks - however, there is still some need for clarification.

A total of 22 working groups are now to work on it - at different places and at different times.

Announcements are not planned for the time being.

However, the FDP had promised the first results for the beginning of November.

The aim of the three parties is to agree on a joint coalition agreement by the end of November.

At the beginning of December, SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz * could then be elected as the new head of government.

Before that, however, the three parties would have to approve the negotiated government program in grassroots surveys or at party conferences.

Greens boss Robert Habeck has already promised the first personal consequences of a possible traffic light formation: In accordance with the Greens own "party culture", he wants to give up the party chairmanship if he takes on a ministerial office *.
