Why did the Union and the SPD struggle for this coalition agreement for weeks? This question is increasing. The sentence that all projects were under financing reservation, suggested that the work, which extends 144 -page, is anything but binding that it is more of a “best of” the wishes of the two unequal partners that have yet to be decided in further negotiations. At the weekend, CDU boss Friedrich Merz has also collected a central promise in tax policy. The planned tax reform to relieve small and medium -sized incomes in the middle of the legislative period is still “not fixed”. Whether the household gave the here – questionable.
Why Merz does that remains his secret. To present the SPD as a spoiler when it comes to tax cuts? As a precaution, to dampen the already low expectations in the country to the black and red coalition? None of this is expedient. Whatever succeeds in this alliance or not, it will primarily be connected to the name Friedrich Merz. He leads this coalition. And in the interest of the country, he should do everything he can to the fact that tax cuts come, better earlier than later.
Before the members of the parties have put their hooks under the coalition, the black and red bazaar has already opened. The SPD continues to insist on a higher taxation of high incomes and assets, although Germany would (still) become more unattractive for specialists and companies. The CSU insists on increasing the mother's pension as if there were no more pressing problems. Unfortunately, the negotiators could not get through for priorities. Whether tax reform, strengthening the mothers -to -make or the seas as a “digital opportunities room”: everything is equally important. Actually, the Union and the SPD would have to put this coalition agreement aside and start all over again. You should only step in front of the public when the most important tasks and their counter -financing are clarified.
