Greens and FDP leaders have had “good” initial talks about a possible cooperation in a new German government. That was announced by both parties.
They would not say what content had been discussed. That was agreed upon, said Secretary General of the FDP Volker Wissing. There will be a second meeting on Friday.
‘Exciting times’
The two parties play a key role in what the new coalition in Germany will look like. The key question is: will they opt for a coalition with the Social Democrats of the SPD or with the centre-right CDU/CSU?
There are considerable differences of opinion within the parties on this; there are many differences between the liberal FDP and the more left-wing Greens.
Last night it became clear that the parties were sitting around the table, after Groenen leader Annalena Baerbock and FDP leader Wissing posted a selfie on Instagram showing the four most important people within the parties. They wrote in their messages, which were exactly the same, that matches were being sought. “And we even found a few. Exciting times.”
