For weeks, the coalition has fought bitterly over important political priorities for the coming years. The SPD absolutely wanted to implement an unlimited rent freeze for urban apartments, the Greens wanted to introduce the strictest and most far-reaching requirements possible for the renovation of apartments and the adoption of another section of the climate package, which cost hundreds of millions of euros. But money is running out and everything doesn’t work. The topics, which were independent in themselves, were linked and used as a means of pressure for approval of each other’s wishes. The coalition stalled for weeks and several decisions had to be postponed. On the Monday after the parliamentary group meetings, the town hall majority reported a breakthrough and a comprehensive compromise should now be in place. An overview.
