Gatherings or Social Events - Wagner acknowledges that traffic lights do not bring daily happiness.
Mathias Wagner, the head of the Green party in Hesse's state parliament, prefers a black-green coalition at the federal level to the current traffic light coalition of the SPD, Greens, and FDP. "It's clear that this traffic light coalition isn't satisfying everyone every day," he noted during an appearance on "17:30 Sat.1 live." Asked if the Greens might work better with the CDU than with the SPD and FDP, he replied, "Most definitely."
Nevertheless, Wagner disapproves of the CDU's proposal to re-vote on the ban on combustion engines following the European election. "The ban on combustion engines is essential. We know we can't keep depending on fossil fuels because they greatly harm the climate," he stated in the same interview. "Sure, we want cars to keep running in our country. But they should be electric, meaning clean and eco-friendly. ... If we don't change our ways, we'll witness more heat waves and storms."

Mathias Wagner, expressing his preference in federal politics, suggested a black-green coalition over the current traffic light coalition consisting of SPD, Greens, and FDP in the Hessian State Parliament. He mentioned that the CDU's proposal to reconsider the ban on combustion engines after the European election does not align with the Greens' stance on climate change, as they believe in transitioning to electric, eco-friendly vehicles. Despite preferring a partnership with the CDU, Wagner criticized the CDU's approach on this particular issue. In Hesse's political scene, parties like the SPD and the Greens, along with potential partners like the FDP and the CDU, have various policies and coalitions at play. These events showcase the complexities of political alliances and coalitions in different regions of Germany.
