After long consultations, the CDU and the Greens in Schleswig-Holstein have apparently come to a conclusion. Details are to be communicated on Wednesday.
The coalition consultations between the CDU and the Greens in the Schleswig-Holstein State House in Kiel have come to an end. “We are through with the negotiations,” said Prime Minister Daniel Günther (CDU) on Tuesday evening. Finance Minister Monika Heinold (Greens) spoke of a good result. “The mood is still good after four weeks of negotiations,” said Aminata Touré (Greens). All open questions have been clarified, both parties said.
Details on Wednesday
After a meeting of the negotiating groups, they have not yet commented on the content. They are to be discussed tomorrow in a large group and then presented to the public. Then the coalition agreement will be signed for the time being. The party conferences of the CDU and the Greens will then have the last word next Monday. If the parties agree to the contract, it will be finally signed this coming Tuesday. Then in eight days, as has already been requested by the CDU, Daniel Günther could be re-elected Prime Minister in the state parliament.
Eight ministries
It had previously been said that the CDU should get the areas of economy, justice, education, home affairs and agriculture. The green environment, finance and social issues. The health department is spun off from the Ministry of Social Affairs and assigned to the Department of Justice. The number of ministries has thus increased from seven to eight.
Heinold and the previous State Secretary Tobias Goldschmidt could lead the finance and environment departments in the future. The newly tailored Ministry of Social Affairs is apparently ready for Aminata Touré. Karin Prien and Sabine Sütterlin-Waack could fill the areas of education and home affairs, plus the foreseeable future of justice and the economy. As the ministry announced, Claus Christian Claussen will no longer stand for the post of Minister of Justice.
