Germany fter Mrs. Angela Merkel era to Where?!

21 November, 2021

The Traffic Light Coalition 🚦 that will lead the next Berlin government (which consists of the SPD, the BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN & the FDP) announced today and here we will talk about some of the main points:

First of all, it should be noted that the slogan launched by the new German Chancellor, Mr. Olaf Scholz, is (Challenge for More Progress) reminds me of the slogan launched by the former German Chancellor, #WillyBrandt, which was (The Challenge for More Democracy) Despite the different political, economic, social, cultural and geographical conditions between the two men, Mr. Schulze, the pragmatic politician who held the position of Mayor of Hamburg, where these states are one of the most important cultural and socially advanced states in the country of machines

So let's get into the details An agreement was reached between the traffic light parties ahead of the expected date announced by the three parties, shortly after the German elections that took place last September, when it is expected to see the new German government on December 6 It was agreed that the Greens would get the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a huge Ministry of Economy and Climate, which would exist for the first time in the history of Berlin, and the Liberals would get the Ministry of Finance The deal between the three parties included the need for fossil coal to be out of German public life (ideally) by 2030 at a time when Germany would have largely disposed of conventional energy resources by perhaps more than 70% of individual and corporate use It was also agreed to raise the minimum wage to 12 euros per hour and also to provide 400,000 new homes per year and expanded government investments in green, digital, etc.

Liberalization of politics in German society, and this is a wide field common to the three parties, and this is clear The coalition deal included legalizing drugs, allowing multiple nationalities, enacting naturalization laws faster than they are now, and the next government's plan to lower the voting age to 16 and promote reproductive rights for LGBT people

Such shifts in German politics in such a short period of time is so remarkable that in the late 1990s law treated these shifts almost exclusively as something inherited But under the Traffic Lights Coalition agreement, some immigrants will be eligible for citizenship after only three years, with Germany declaring it a "patron of immigrants" nation.

The coalition agreement also contains some promising indicators for the eurozone -which I will talk about in a later post- Mrs. Annalena Baerbock Chair of the Green Party, will be the Green Party's candidate for the post of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who will be the first woman as Foreign Minister for the first time in Germany since 1951 Mrs. Barbock spoke of paradigm changes in foreign policy with a greater focus on values, as this will be reflected in the elements of the alliance deal, such as the explicit reference to the threat of #China 🇨🇳 to #Taiwan 🇹🇼 that Germany's policy under the leadership of the new government is more strict in dealing with Beijing and Moscow

The chancellorship, along with acquiring the ministries of the Interior, Defense, Health, Labor, International Development and Housing, would be in the interest of the SPD The Ministry of Economy will be alongside Climate - a new ministry - and ministries such as the Ministry of Environment, Family, Youth and Agriculture will be in the interest of the Green Party While alongside the Ministry of Finance (Treasury) and the Ministries of Transportation, Digital Communications, Education and Justice in favor of the Liberal Party (FDP) As Berlin's policy in its details will be based on clear principles, represented by: 80% of Germany's reliance on renewable energy by 2030, more pragmatic policies on pensions, and the stabilization of 48% of average wages compared to minimum pensions, and the goal of future policies is spending on research and development 3.5% of GDP and research Germany will remain an observer of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, but Berlin will continue to participate in the nuclear projects of NATO

Some questions that will be raised in the near and medium term about the ability of the Traffic Light Coalition to pass these policies and the ability to implement them Past performance is no guarantee of future results as Mrs Merkel's last two governments have committed to about 80% of the original alliance agreements by the end of their terms

I will follow up on the discussions of the coalition deals, the new government, and the future path for Germany, starting from the sixth of next December.
