100 days of traffic light coalition: on course or just a low?
100 days of traffic light coalition: on course or just a low?
Vienna, Österreich - On June 9, 2025, the coalition from ÖVP, SPÖ and Neos celebrates the 100th day of their existence. The government presented its balance sheet of these first days in office during a press conference, whereby the focus is on stabilizing the budget. A central point here is the upcoming decision of the Federal Finance Act, which is to take place this month. In addition, a comprehensive administrative reform is to be implemented, which is to be realized by the end of 2026 in cooperation with the federal states and the municipalities.
Another important project, the introduction of a partial board, is about to implement. While the reform of the issue of instructions in the judiciary and the standardization of social welfare take more time, the mobile phone ban on schools and a temporary stop of family reunification are largely completed. However, a controversial topic remains the planned messenger monitoring, in which the consent of the NEOS is so far unclear.
public opinion on the initial results
In addition, a study by the Bertelsmann Foundation in cooperation with the University of Trier and the "Progressive Center" looks at the half -time balance of the traffic light coalition. Despite currently low survey values, the coalition has been able to implement or tackle almost two thirds of its projects from the coalition agreement. A total of 453 promises were analyzed, of which 174 (38 percent) are fully or partially met. Ten further percent are in the process of fulfillment.
criticism and satisfaction
However, it also becomes clear that 36 percent of the promises have so far not been fulfilled or tackled. Robert Vehrkamp from the Bertelsmann Foundation emphasizes that the positive services are overlaid by the ongoing coalition dispute. Only 12 percent of Germans believe that many of the coalition promises have been realized; 43 percent believe that only a small part or hardly any of the projects has been implemented. In addition, the respondents are divided with regard to the satisfaction with the work of the government parties: around a quarter is satisfied, while over 60 percent are dissatisfied.
Wolfgang Schröder from the "Progressive Center" warns against underestimating the government due to internal conflicts. Overall, the study indicates that the traffic light coalition has implemented more promises in absolute numbers than the previous grand coalition, but this does not fully compensate for the current dissatisfaction of the voters. Theres Matthieß from the University of Trier notes that the multitude of promises reflect the complexity and ambitions of the traffic lights.
In summary, the 100-day balance of the coalition illuminates both progress and challenges and shows that a significant part of social consent is still on the brink.
