According to a new analysis, the traffic light has already fulfilled many coalition promises. Bavaria’s Prime Minister is nevertheless critical – parts of the federal government are “simply offline with the population”.

The CSU chairman Markus Söder has put the results of a study into perspective, according to which the traffic light coalition has now fulfilled a considerable number of promises from its coalition agreement. “If it is relevant to ban candy advertising, if it is relevant to release drugs, if it is relevant to put the right to self-determination for 14-year-olds first, then you have achieved a lot,” said the Bavarian Prime Minister yesterday in the RTL “Nachtjournal Spezial”. “But they moved the wrong things.”

Söder accuses the coalition in Berlin of having disconnected itself from the concerns and problems of the population. “You can blame the government for the fact that we are not making any progress in the crisis and that other nation states around us are more successful,” he said. “There is so much loss of substance that part of our population says: Can democracy still achieve anything? A part of this federal government is simply offline to the population.”

An analysis by the Bertelsmann Foundation together with the University of Trier and the think tank “The Progressive Center” showed that the traffic light had at least partially fulfilled around a third of its promises at halftime or had at least “substantially addressed” the fulfillment. Around a further third have not yet been fulfilled or addressed.
