Dobrindt: Today it goes to “The thick Klopper”

Coalition negotiations

Dobrindt: “Today we bend over the thick Klopper”

In the coalition negotiations of black and red, the AfD draws on a survey with the Union. Before the start of a new round of negotiations, leading Union politicians still show optimism.

CSU regional group leader Alexander Dobrindt sees the black-red coalition negotiations in Berlin a lot of willingness to get together with those involved. “Today we bend over the thick Klopper, that is, those topics that are not agreed now,” he said in the morning when entering the Konrad-Adenauer-Haus before the start of a new round. “But there is a lot of willingness to get together, a lot of will to argue. Responsibility, which is at the top, we want to perceive them together,” said Dobrindt. In his opinion, the negotiators came very far in the past week.

When asked about a survey in which the AfD pulls the same with the Union for the first time, the CSU politician said: “You shouldn’t read so much news and messages in coalition negotiations. You have to concentrate on what is now the task.” Read more about the survey here.

Union negotiators Jens Spahn (CDU) said that the surveys and the election result showed that trust had to be recovered massively. “It has to be better for the country. That is what we all concerned us here and where we try to find good compromises.”
