The press conference on the coalition agreement is over. As feared, a lot of Red-Green, almost nothing from the CDU in it, and the little that is in it is mostly subject to reservations and will fail to be realised. The ministries with the most important bulding and money-spending powers have gone entirely to the SPD, leaving the CDU with the cheapest symbolic policy ministries. It is also striking that the 1 trillion in new debt recently approved for infrastructure measures and defense will be managed and allocated almost exclusively by SPD-led ministries in the future, and, as already mentioned, the Ministry of Finance as such as well.
This is not a coalition agreement, but 95% of an SPD party program. The SPD has won the elections with flying colours.
But we will get another Frederik the Great. Hooray-hooray-hooray!
