Kassel (dpa / lhe) – Greens, CDU and FDP in Kassel have signed their coalition agreement. “Despite all political differences, we stand together and want to take responsibility for Kassel’s future together as a “coalition of reason”,” the parties said on Tuesday. After the failure of the red-green town hall coalition, there is now a Jamaica alliance in the northern Hessian city for the first time.
The focus of the cooperation will be on the topics of climate protection and economy, mobility and security as well as education and digitization, explained the party leaders Vanessa Gronemann and Daniel Stein (both Green), Eva Kühne-Hörmann (CDU) and Matthias Nölke (FDP) of the communication according to. The socio-political dimensions should “always be kept in mind”.
The previous coalition of SPD and Greens collapsed in June. This was followed by months of internal party disputes among the Social Democrats in Kassel. After the party had initially started coalition talks with the CDU, the majority later decided to break them off – against the will of SPD Mayor Christian Geselle. He then announced that he wanted to run as an independent candidate in the mayoral election next year.
