Ambel-noise: Does the fate of the coalition hang on lanterns around 2025?

A huge argument threatens to tear the traffic light coalition in Berlin - because of an apparently banal topic: the ban on candle for lantern removals! An anonymous postcard from the capital brings light into the dark and reveals that the broken relationships between the coalition partners could have far -reaching consequences. The cause? Dissens about the implementation of the new EU directive 7245/24, which regulates security standards for lanterns and Martin parades.

conflict of giants: Roth vs. Westphal

In the center of the storm, the controversial politicians: Claudia Roth from the Greens and the Giesen MP Bernd Westphal from the SPD. Roth swears by the EU-wide prohibition of open fire in lanterns, which is to be significantly enforced from January 1, 2025. Only painted candles that are illuminated by adults would then be allowed, and the use of cordless flashlights would be mandatory! This has fatal consequences for the traditional lantern parades that are cultivated in many cities.

On the other hand, the economic -oriented Westphal, who thinks that such a ban endangers the versatile trade relationships with countries like China. As a chemical laboratory, he himself is not afraid of open fire and sees the need to not only preserve the German traditions, but also to protect economic interests.
