When politicians no longer know, y like to resort to sports metaphors. A “final” is that, said one who is sitting for CDU at negotiating table for a Jamaica coalition, on Saturday morning. “Stop Shadow Boxing,” demanded CSU negotiator Alexander Dobrindt. “The second half of extension begins”, also Green chairman Cem Özdemir tried to report on sports before he entered Konrad Adenauer House, CDU headquarters in Berlin.

A few minutes later, party leaders of CDU, CSU, FDP and Greens started ir discussions inside. Again. For four weeks, potential Jamaican coalition had now had time to exchange ir positions and make compromises. A night session, it should have been last, had ended on Friday morning without any result.
The four Parties had refore agreed to continue to discuss weekend. Friday afternoon about Europe and foreign policy, this Saturday about climate, refugees, transport and agriculture. Sunday from ten o’clock it is supposed to go to inner, family, communal, social and financial.
What do parties have to say after hundreds of hours, meetings, working groups, two-, three-and four-round rounds? “We’ve been spinning for weeks. There are always same questions on which we are stuck, “says CSU.

A certain nauseum is hardly to be concealed if negotiators step in front of press during course of Saturday or send ir spokespersons to door again and again, which n, surrounded by small groups of journalists, explain ir view of things. The central point of dispute remains refugee policy on Saturday too. In morning, CSU Prime Minister Horst Seehofer and Green Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann have taken extra for breakfast. “It’s always worth talking to Horst,” says Kretschmann many hours later. But even if two seem to have a wire to each or and are now with you: The process situation has not changed that yet.
In meantime, CDU says that only issue that a coalition could still burst is family reunification for refugees who only receive subsidiary protection. “If we clarify point, all or points of dispute will be resolved.”
Especially for CSU and Greens, topic is highly emotional and symbolic. Until March se refugees are not allowed to catch up with ir families in Germany, n suspension will expire. The CSU absolutely wants to prolong it, Greens do not. It is controversial how many refugees would come to Germany. A study goes from 60,000 people. The CSU fears that it could be over 200,000.
Would Bavarians actually let a coalition fail on this question? “Yes,” says CSU. “The one wants more migration. We want less. It’s that simple, “says a CSU man. “We could justify this before Bavarian people if we had a coalition on this issue.”
