A few weeks ago it was still a spider enemy, now shortly before the grand coalition. A comment from BZ editor Stefan Peter.
It was less than two months ago that they fought like tinkers during the election campaign. On Friday, the leaders of the CDU and SPD once again stood side by side in harmony, making peace, joy and pancakes.
SPD faction leader Raed Saleh spoke, CDU election winner Kai Wegner nodded in agreement. When CDU General Stefan Evers spoke, Franziska Giffey, who was still in power, gave him an enchanting smile.
Is it all just a charm show? So be it! There was constant trouble with red-green-red, so harmony is very pleasant for a change. After all, black and red want to rule the capital together.
There will still be enough trouble and problems – a bit of group cuddling beforehand might help to relax.
