The theme of the day: More money for short-term workers?
The grand coalition has so far been more united in the crown crisis than ever before. The alliance, which has struggled with itself from the start two years ago, quickly decided to provide billions in aid to businesses and employees. Wages are increasing approval ratings, especially for the Union.
But gradually the return to everyday political life is emerging. And it shows that harmony in the grocery store can be finished quickly. By trying to pull society out of Corona’s emergence into normality, the alliance could also fall into the old way.
That could already be shown tonight. CDU, CSU and SPD leaders meet at the Chancery. The agenda is long, the points in dispute are numerous (read an analysis of the initial situation here).
The fight is done primarily for short-term job benefits. The SPD requires that it be increased to 80 and 87 percent for parents. The Union rejects this, although the CSU is likely, as traditionally, to be more open in social policy.
Basically, there is hope in the coalition to agree. SPD circles say many in the Union have also been upset that companies’ calls to complete the short-term subsidy have not been heard.
But if an agreement will be reached it is open. In any case, it could be a long night at the Chancery. The meeting hours are: Open End.
