After 100 days, the pressure on the traffic lights increases
VCompared with the full-bodied gallop, namely the huge coalition agreement in which a new Frankfurt was drafted, the Roman coalition took it on in the first 100 days since the election of most members of the magistrate on September 8th. The most recent meeting of the Frankfurt city council was about Poller and the Paulskirchen anniversary – nothing exciting, nothing new. That doesn’t have to be wrong. It speaks for the city councils to familiarize themselves thoroughly before getting started.
The pressure, however, is great. That was especially gilded for housing policy, where only the final failure of the generous plans for the Günthersburghöfe is remembered, for transport policy, which has to be more than just marking out bike paths, and of course for environmental policy, which is rarely banned from gravel gardens can exhaust.
At least some things can be seen in outlines, for example that the divergence of the city and its surroundings, which has been observed for a long time, is intensifying. Life in Frankfurt is made harder and harder for people commuting in by car, the region is left with no fuss about the business, and it is also possible that Frankfurt will cause pain in the data centers.
Budget 2022 as a possible point of conflict
It could be argued that the Main metropolis, as a traffic-calm idyll, could hardly survive in global competition, but considerations about the alliance not to operate in such a way that it would be recognizable; Its members want to look primarily at social and ecological issues. They treat each other in a friendly manner, which also puts the mayor in a good mood; If everything is not wrong, the mood in the city council is even less tense.
Whether the honeymoon will survive the deliberations on the 2022 budget with the foreseeable distribution conflicts, whether the first frictions in the coalition will remain an episode about the multifunctional hall, whether the V-traffic light will still be successful despite the green coalition agreement, all interests in the city to become and not only those of the Nordend residents, that is not foreseeable after 100 days.
The curiosity, on the other hand, is still great as to what this self-confident alliance will bring about, whether all parties will find their role, including the FDP and Volt, whether it will succeed in working through the checkered program. It is possible that the politicians will have to go a step further in the next 100 days.
