It is a true swansong for the traffic light coalition. The co-chair of the Green Party, Omid Nouripour, describes the alliance of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP as an obsolete model. These statements come just before the three important state elections in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg and a good year before the next federal election in September 2025. That says a lot about the state of the federal government. Because Nouripour doesn't want to rule anything out for the future . However, he left it open whether he considers the coalition to break as a result. More from our Okay, the Green party leadership was able to maintain its good mood for a surprisingly long time despite poor poll numbers. But now the sources of cheerful courage seem to have been exhausted. According to the Green party leader, working in the coalition is difficult . The many internal disputes with the FDP are unnecessary, the traffic lights are only a temporary alliance. I would have said something to this interim government, but this government constellation as a transition for the post-Merkel period was necessary. It is obvious that trust has reached its limits. The FDP Finance Minister Lindner has a completely different understanding of what is right for the country in terms of budget policy. But when it comes to migration and social issues, the goals of the traffic light parties are also becoming increasingly divergent. Discussions within the party have long been underway about how to position itself for the upcoming federal election campaign. The SPD is struggling with poor poll numbers not only for the party, but also for the Chancellor. But she will hold on to this in the hope that the mood in the country will be better again next year. These are difficult times, that's true, not just for the SPD, but for the entire country. We are in serious crises and the SPD is for this government. And it is naturally the case that approval is dwindling because these crises are perceived as stressful, that the government's image is worse than its work, as some claim is not true, according to a party researcher. The traffic lights don't always deliver, people promise to do better. This is not just the catastrophic external image, but also in important policy areas. And I mean, it's been clear for many months, basically for years, what people's main concerns are. This government is not delivering the way people want. Lindner's FDP has at least delivered one thing recently. Lots of ideas and suggestions, none of which can be implemented, at least not with the current coalition partners. The planned cap on aid payments for Ukraine is also causing clear criticism within the SPD. Foreign policy expert Roth told the newspapers of the Funke media group that he saw this as a fatal signal. And the Union also clearly rejects the plans. The CDU budget expert Kiesewetter told the Tagesspiegel If military support for Ukraine is no longer financed from the budget, that means that the country will be left in the lurch. According to reports, the traffic light's current budget planning for the coming years does not provide any further financial aid beyond the money already promised. In the future, the funds will come from interest on frozen Russian assets in Europe. And the Greens also criticize these plans. Therefore, firstly, it should be noted that everything that has been promised to Ukraine so far will definitely continue to be financed. And we always had the rule when there were new requirements. We watched it from Ukraine. Is this a contribution to escalation? That wouldn't work. Is that something that can even exist? And is it something that can be solved together in partner states? These three things have always been important and remain true. And I can only warn against believing that pure austerity measures will lead to more security or less security. And that is why this is not a conceivable constellation for us . We, Alliance 90 The Greens, believe that within the framework of what I have described, we should give Ukraine the support it needs.
