CDU Shuts Down Tschentscher's Criticism on Resident Parking Flexibility
The CDU is blowing steam over accusations from Hamburg's Mayor, Peter Tschentscher (SPD), claiming they're hindering the flexibilization of resident parking at the federal level. According to Christoph Ploß, the head of HDU's regional group in the Bundestag, Tschentscher is either misinformed or intentionally spreading false news.
After Tschentscher hinted at a potential red-black coalition post-2025 elections, he attributed the CDU and FDP halting road traffic law changes as one of the reasons, citing their obstruction of flexible residential parking for tradespeople. However, Ploß argued that the SPD coalition had rejected numerous CDU initiatives aimed at benefiting tradespeople, including allowing them to park in resident areas.
Dennis Thering, CDU's parliamentary group leader in Hamburg, chimes in, emphasizing the importance of enabling craftsmen to operate within residential parking zones. Thering criticized Tschentscher's sentiment as disingenuous, laying blame on SPD, Greens, and FDP for the failure of residents' parking reform at the federal level.
The ongoing feud highlights the CDU and SPD's contrasting views on residents' parking policies. The issue has sparked heated debates in Hamburg and Berlin, where FDP, a party with representatives in both cities, was recently rocked by the departure of its Bundesrat representative Hans-Jörg Söder to join the CSU in Bavaria.
