Dispute over budget: Herford faces difficult decisions!

Dispute over budget: Herford faces difficult decisions!

in Herford there is great unrest after the proposed changes for the urban budget by the SPD, Union for Herford (UFH) and the Greens were only submitted shortly before the decisive council meeting. The mayor, Wollgram, expressed his inability to check these proposals in good time and announced that it was not to participate in the vote. "I am working. You don't manage to work through change proposals for the household until the council meeting at 5 p.m.," he criticized in relation to the late submission of the documents. This situation shows how important early and transparent communication in local politics is to avoid such conflicts, as Westfalen-blatt reports.

dispute between CSU and the Greens on economic policy

At the federal political level, the situation becomes no less complicated. CSU boss Markus Söder is in a constant conflict with the Green top candidate Robert Habeck. The tensions are particularly noticeable during public appearances, such as the craft fair in Munich, where there was a heated debate about nuclear power. Söder sharply criticized Habeck for the premature decommissioning of the nuclear power plants, which led to an open dispute between the two leaders. Söder confirmed that there would never be a black and green coalition with him. Nevertheless, the Union, especially under CDU boss Merz, shows itself more open to discussions with the Greens, especially with regard to civil allowance and foreign policy issues. This happens against the background that the cooperation does not want to be completely excluded, such as Tagesschau analyzed.

Although the trenches are deep between the parties, especially with regard to migration policy views, there is an indication of possible matches, at least in economic matters. However, the question remains whether and how the different positions and resentment between the decision -makers can be bridged after the upcoming federal election.
