The traffic light coalition in Rhineland-Palatinate is facing criticism from the CDU parliamentary group over proposed constitutional changes. These changes include lowering the voting age, enshrining sustainability and intergenerational justice as state goals, raising the hurdles for popular initiatives, limiting the term of office for state leaders, and having neutral chairs for investigative committees.
The talks between the two parties have not resulted in an agreement, but the CDU can introduce its own initiatives. The Greens expect a comprehensive discussion on these changes in the coming legislative period.
The CDU has expressed frustration over the lack of cooperation from the representatives of the traffic light coalition. The Ampel coalition has faced ongoing challenges and disputes, raising questions about its ability to implement important projects.
Despite this, the coalition has achieved some of its goals, such as the introduction of the Bürgergeld, the Germany ticket, cannabis legalization, and the expansion of renewable energy. However, many issues remain unresolved, including reforms in healthcare, pension, and the economy.
The Ampel coalition faces a long to-do list and potential disagreements in the upcoming months.
