Coalition between SPD and Black parties needs increased solidarity and dependability, SPD asserts

In a recent statement, SPD General Secretary Tim Kluessendorf praised the swift action of the German government in infrastructure measures and investments. The government's initiatives, such as the implementation of super-depreciation for investments and the establishment of an infrastructure special fund, have been met with approval by Kluessendorf.

These measures have led to immediate actions in the area of housing construction, as part of the construction turbo, and lower network charges, providing billions in immediate relief to citizens.

However, Kluessendorf expressed concern over the lack of reliability shown in the election polls. He also criticized the approach of the coalition in reducing the electricity tax, citing it as an example of disagreements within the coalition.

Interestingly, the proposal to reduce the electricity tax for all consumers within the black-red coalition was discussed, but the exact origin of the proposal and the original timing for the reduction remain unclear. The coalition has, however, postponed the electricity tax reduction for all consumers.

In a separate issue, the Union refused to elect the SPD candidate Frauke Brosius-Gersdorf in the Bundestag. This decision has been met with criticism from Kluessendorf, who also criticized the Union's behavior in the election to the Federal Constitutional Court.

Despite these disagreements, Kluessendorf did not mention any repeated criticism or concerns about the electricity tax reduction or the Union's behavior in the election to the Federal Constitutional Court. The focus of his criticism seems to be on the reliability of the election polls and the coalition's approach to certain policies.

The government's actions in the areas of infrastructure, housing, and network charges have been beneficial to all citizens, as they have already benefited from the abolition of the gas storage surcharge. As the situation continues to develop, it will be interesting to see how the coalition addresses the concerns raised by Tim Kluessendorf and other political figures.
