Traffic light coalition and climate change: coal phase-out as early as 2030
In order to meet the requirements of climate change *, Germany should get out of coal as early as 2030 according to the plans of the traffic light coalition.
With this, the country should take a significant step towards climate neutrality.
According to Annalena Baerbock, the top candidate of the Greens, the effort to become climate neutral is dragging itself “through the entire coalition agreement”.
Traffic light coalition wants to legally restrict arms exports
The SPD, Greens and FDP want to better control German arms exports with their own law.
So far there have only been political guidelines for the export of weapons and other armaments.
Among other things, it bans the export of weapons to crisis areas.
In addition, consideration of the human rights situation in the target countries is given high priority in export decisions.
The Greens in particular, but also parts of the SPD, have repeatedly criticized the fact that the guidelines are insufficient for effective arms export control.
Traffic light coalition: voting age should be reduced to 16 years
One of the biggest changes that the traffic light coalition intends to introduce in the next four years is the lowering of the voting age in Germany.
Participation in federal elections is to be reduced to 16 years according to the will of the SPD, Greens and FDP.
The active voting age for participation in the European Parliament elections will also be 16 in the future.
For the European elections, the coalitionists could adopt this reform with a simple majority - by changing the European Election Act.
The situation is different in the Bundestag elections because an amendment to the Basic Law would be necessary here.
This requires the approval of two thirds of the members of the Bundestag.
This means that the coalition partners would also need votes from the opposition for this.
The Left Party * had also shown sympathy for lowering the voting age in earlier debates on the subject.
Union and AfD * were against it.
