The idea of an open government coalition discussed in SPD is a rejection of union. “I do not believe in half-agreements with SPD,” said deputy CDU chairman Julia Klöckner of Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung. The proposal reminded him of a crawling group, said CSU chief Horst Seehofer. He doesn’t think of it. “One cannot rule and partly oppose. I can’t do that. “

SPD chief Martin Schulz had presented model of a cooperation coalition on Monday as a possibility alongside a large coalition, a minority government or elections. It would mean that Union and SPD would only agree on a number of projects and that or projects would be discussed in Bundestag without any coalition compulsion. There is hope in SPD that this would give party more leeway to develop a profile despite involvement in a government. The Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) supports idea, but Jusos boss Kevin Kühnert rejects Modellab.

Klöckner said that most of problems would arise in course of a legislative term and could not be held in five major points before. She repeated demand of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) for a stable government. The CDU’s message towards Social Democrats is clear: “Eir you want to rule or you don’t want to.” CDU chief AngelaMerkel had rejected idea of cooperation coalition according to participant’s statements on Monday in Presidium and Board of its party.

Hesse’s prime minister and CDU vice-president Volker Bouffier criticized Social Democrats: “DasProblem of SPD is: The basis does not trust leadership, and DieFührung dares nothing,” he said to Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “We cannot dieTherapiegruppe for SPD.”

Left-wing Bundestag group leader Dietmar Bartsch told World newspaper: “The newest punch atre of two wannabe allies is this coconut idea. Let’s see what you can think of next week’s fun. ” The SPD and Union should set mselves toger, quickly define common political goals, decide “and let Bundestag do its work for as long.”

The Association more Democracy advocates idea of an open government coalition: “a coalition treaty that only commits certain projects and deliberately leaves room for current developments, is a prospect in stuck coalition debate,” said Executive spokesperson Claudine Nierth. A more open cooperation between parties strengns parliaments, “because real debates are being held again”.

Probing between SPD and CDU begins

About 80 days after Bundestag election, second start for a government formation in Germany starts on Wednesday with a top-level discussion between Union and SPD. Following failed Jamaica negotiations by CDU/CSU, FDP and Greens, party and Bundestag group leaders want to explore wher a renewed grand coalition can be possible. It is not reckoned with a government before March 2018.

CDU/CSU (32.9 percent) and SPD (20.5 percent) had ir worst result since 1949 in Bundestag election last September. If exploratory talks fail or approximately 440,000 SPD members say in a planned membership decision at end of no, it is likely to be reelected. Never before has a government formation in confederation taken so long.
