The SPD and the Greens, the coalition partners in the Munich city council, have never really warmed up to each other. In the meantime, they eye each other suspiciously, even the color of the cycle paths has become a political issue. Provoke, excuse, run up – what’s going on right now?

A few days ago, SPD parliamentary group leader Anne Hübner posted a photo on the Twitter platform. It was a new, green colored piece of the Altstadtradlring. This is what the future of cycling in Munich should look like. Hübner did not publish the photo because she likes the color so much. Or to congratulate your coalition partner. The road was riddled with skid marks. “Looks pretty battered after such a short time,” she wrote. Pretty damaged, that’s how you could describe the relationship between the coalition partners in the town hall. again. Or also: still.
