Government - Planned black-red coalition agreement meets with criticism

The planned black-red coalition agreement in Hesse has met with criticism from the current and future opposition in the state parliament. Mathias Wagner, leader of the Greens parliamentary group, said in Wiesbaden on Thursday that the black-red coalition would not live up to its own claim of wanting to provide answers to the major challenges of our time. "Wherever one would have hoped for concrete proposals, there is a verbose nothing." None of the ministries will have "climate" in their title in future, he criticized.

"This agreement is a humiliation for the SPD," Wagner summed up. The Social Democratic Party is not even expected to have a complete Ministry of Social Affairs. The Green parliamentary group leader referred to the planned division of departments, according to which there is to be an SPD-led "Ministry for Labor, Integration, Youth and Social Affairs" as well as a CDU-led "Ministry for Family, Seniors, Sports, Health and Care".

"While there was still talk of a separate Ministry of Agriculture and a Ministry for Rural Areas during the election campaign, there is now nothing left of it," criticized Wiebke Knell, the designated co-chairwoman of the FDP parliamentary group in the state parliament. "Rural areas remain an appendage." She criticized the fact that there will instead be "de facto two social ministries" in future. "Why an additional ministry with expensive structures should be created here of all places is not clear and is conceptually questionable," said Knell.
