Traffic Light Coalition
Scholz thought governing was “less dramatic”
Olaf Scholz said in a talk show that it was not easy to get three parties together. Nevertheless, the head of government is more than satisfied with the coalition’s decisions so far.
Scholz was annoyed that so much was being said about the traffic light processes and not about the results achieved together. “There hasn’t been this much speed, this many decisions for a long time. But it’s all obscured by the noise,” said the Chancellor. “This is something that is really depressing.” The coalition needs to praise itself more.
One example is migration policy, said Scholz. The coalition has made the most far-reaching decisions of the last 20 or 25 years, including on citizenship law, labor immigration and irregular migration. “This is a decision that was possible through a lot of work.” But instead of focusing on this, there is a discussion about which individual payment card regulations should be worked on for eight hours or two weeks.
The talk show will be broadcast tomorrow Friday from 10 p.m. on several third-party television programs, such as Radio Bremen and NDR. The talk show will no longer be edited after it is recorded.
