The SPD chairwoman Saskia Esken has assured that she wants to stick to the schedule for the coalition negotiations.

“It's definitely sticking to our schedule.

It is a very clear plan that we can elect Olaf Scholz as our Federal Chancellor during St. Nicholas Week and the preparatory work must be done by then, «said Esken in the ARD» Tagesthemen «.

The coalition negotiations between the SPD, the Greens and the FDP are entering a first decisive phase this week.

The 22 working groups should work out their positions by Wednesday.

Several Green politicians had already expressed their dissatisfaction with the progress made in the talks.

Green parliamentary leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt did not rule out that the coalition negotiations could take longer than planned.

She assured the ARD “Morgenmagazin” that those involved are making an effort: “But the result counts and not the date”.
