Conservative-Liberal-Green alliance would be “exciting future project in connecting ecology and economy” – CDU politicians

Rheinische Post

The option for a so-called Jamaica government coalition of CDU/CSU, Greens and Free Democrats (FDP) should be used if there was a majority for it after the general elections in September, according to CDU parliamentary state secretary in the finance ministry Jens Spahn. Another four years of a grand coalition with the Social Democrats (SPD) “would not be good for the political climate” in Germany, said Spahn in a joint interview with Schleswig-Holstein premier Daniel Günther (also CDU). Günther added: “In connecting ecology and economy, Jamaica is an exciting project for the future.”
