Green-Black Coalition in Baden-Württemberg: Focus on Key Policies, Equal Treatment Act Remains Controversial
The Green-Black coalition in Baden-Württemberg, comprising Alliance 90/The Greens and the CDU, has been making strides in passing various laws to address bureaucratic reduction, mobility, and simplified building, among others. However, the Equal Treatment Act, also known as the Anti-Discrimination Act, remains a contentious issue.
While the coalition agreement includes the Anti-Discrimination Act, recent reports suggest that it is still under discussion and may be the reason for the lack of a comprehensive package deal within the coalition. The CDU has not initiated any talks regarding this act, and there is currently no agreement between the two parties.
The cities and communities in Baden-Württemberg have expressed a preference for flat-rate allocations of federal special assets instead of a complex application process via the state administration. This move is aimed at avoiding new bureaucracy and streamlining the process.
In the economic sphere, a Pentecost package from the Green-Black coalition is deemed desirable to address economic concerns and avoid the impending election campaign for the 2026 state election. The economy needs quick support, with bureaucratic simplification, relief, fast approval procedures, expansion of infrastructure, and support for the automotive industry being pressing issues.
For further reading, an article on the coalition agreement and the municipalities is available. Additionally, there is information available on what the new coalition in Berlin means for Baden-Württemberg.
The political scene in Baden-Württemberg is awaiting a package of various laws from the Green-Black coalition. The absence of a publicly reported controversy specifically about the Equal Treatment Act suggests either stable agreement on the law or that other issues have taken precedence politically.
However, it is important to note that the Green Norm Control Council Chairman, Dieter Salomon, has publicly criticized the controversial Anti-Discrimination Act. The Greens have reportedly agreed on potential changes to the act, such as the removal of some regulations and the possible alteration of the controversial factual burden of proof shift.
Large parts of the CDU reject the Anti-Discrimination Act, with support from economic and municipal associations. Last summer, there was a dispute within the Greens, with the then State Minister Florian Stegmann writing a critical letter about it. The election campaign for the 2026 state election is expected to begin in summer and autumn.
The regulation relief law allows municipalities to temporarily suspend regulations and test the consequences. This law could potentially provide a platform for discussions on the Equal Treatment Act, but as of now, no such discussions have been reported.
