The negotiators from the SPD, Greens and FDP are now entering the third day of their detailed talks for a possible coalition agreement.

The Green Youth calls conditions.

Berlin - Negotiations will take place for a few more days until a possible coalition agreement between the traffic light parties is in place.

Working groups meet for detailed negotiations in various policy areas.

But even if the negotiators agree, the result still has to be confirmed internally.

A digital member survey is pending for the Greens *.

The federal spokesman for the Green Youth, Timon Dzienus, has now warned his party against making too big concessions in the negotiations with the SPD and FDP.

In an interview with

Der Spiegel

, he left the youth organization's approval of a potential coalition agreement

open.

“Something has to be noticeably improved for the people in the country,” he said.

"Otherwise we will not agree to this coalition agreement," said Dzienus, referring to the 1.5 degree target for climate protection.

Green youth only want to agree to the traffic light coalition agreement if "something really changes"

Specifically, he called for, among other things, an apprenticeship guarantee for young people and a halt to the construction of the motorway.

“With every new road we are increasing people's dependence on cars for decades.” The savings in road construction could pay for the expansion of local public transport.

Investments of at least 1.5 billion euros are required here.

The Green Youth will only agree to a coalition agreement if “something really changes,” emphasized the boss.

When asked what impact it would have if the Green Youth stood up for voting against, Dzienus replied: “You will see that then.” It is the youth organization's task to show if it does not agree to compromises.

"We will monitor the traffic light's actions critically."

The federal spokesman for the Green Youth also emphasized that the Greens should not see themselves exclusively as an eco-party.

“We must not allow ourselves to be reduced to the climate.” The Greens could “provide answers in all political fields”.

Dzienus spoke out in favor of filling the finance department.

"The Treasury is extremely important to anything the Greens want to create," he said.

But the FDP is also interested in this post *.
