The Greens explorer Brugger is confident that the coalition negotiations will be successful – they want to avoid the mistakes of 2017. She also gave in to the issues at stake daily topics optimistic.
The Greens want to avoid the mistakes made in the negotiations after the 2017 federal election when the FDP collapsed a possible Jamaica coalition: “We Greens were ready to take on responsibility four years ago. Those were four lost years for climate protection “, said Agnieszka Brugger, who belongs to the party’s extended exploratory team daily topics. You want to avoid piercing like after the previous election and rather treat each other in a respectful way.
The Green MP did not want to comment specifically on the content of the explorations with the FDP: Although there are similarities in terms of civil rights, digitization and citizen participation in political participation, there is much to be discussed in terms of climate policy and sustainable financial policy.
“Four years ago we saw that piercing and red lines were not a strategy that led to success,” said Agnieszka Brugger, Deputy Greens parliamentary group leader, about the talks with the FDP

No decision on the speed limit yet
Brugger countered the claim that her party had already buckled with regard to the speed limit: “Nothing is set in stone that was discussed in the first week. The speed limit is far from cleared.”
The explorer expressed herself optimistically that an agreement can be found with the possible partners with regard to climate protection: During the election campaign, all parties had declared that the climate protection goals of Paris were important to them and that they had to be met. Therefore, she is confident that one can agree on a course. Consistent climate protection does not have to play off social justice and economic innovation against each other.
The SPD would be the first choice as a partner
With regard to the preferred coalition partner, Brugger made it clear that she saw more in common with the Social Democrats: “The SPD won well ahead of the Union. There was a clear preference on the part of the electorate that had to be respected.” In addition, she sees the larger overlaps with the SPD in terms of content.
The Greens spoke to all democratic parties and therefore accepted the invitation from the Union, according to Brugger. The power struggles in the CDU and CSU are not a good prerequisite for a stable government that also wants to tackle the major challenges.
