Conservatives, Greens and liberals to form government coalition in Schleswig-Holstein
The leadership of the Christian Democrats (CDU), the Green Party and the Free Democrats (FDP) in Schleswig-Holstein have agreed on forming a government, said CDU frontrunner Daniel G眉nther in a press conference. The agreement 鈥渟hows how ecology can be linked to economy鈥, said G眉nther, who would lead the so-called Jamaica-Coalition 鈥 named after the parties鈥 colours of black, green and yellow. All three parties want to "successfully implement" the energy transition, and the leadership found a compromise for future wind power development, said G眉nther. Repowering old turbines in wind-rich areas on the state鈥檚 west coast would allow larger distances between wind turbines and the next village in other parts of the state. The Green Party will continue to lead the state energy and environment ministry. Party leaders will present the coalition agreement to their parties for approval.
