Scholz suggests that the haze of the coalition agreement obscures the accomplishments.
Scholz made it clear that he wasn't planning to measure his words against gold. In a way, every administration symbolizes a shift: "Every government is the precursor to the one following it." Now, the "Traffic Light" coalition needs to tackle the issues at hand. Their objective is to "conquer significant hurdles and maintain a smooth operation for us." Scholz brushed off the Union's criticism regarding the "Traffic Light" coalition's effectiveness. After the 2017 federal election, the CDU/CSU, Greens, and FDP had attempted to form a coalition, but it didn't work out. "The Jamaica coalition never came to fruition."
The SPD, being a key component of the "Traffic Light" coalition, is eager to address the pressing challenges ahead. Despite the CDU/CSU, Greens, and FDP's past attempt at forming a coalition known as the Jamaica coalition, which failed to materialize in 2017, Scholz and his SPD now lead this new coalition.
