Interview: Kubicki calls the SPD management “character noses” – and needs to kind a coalition with the celebration | EUROtoday

Wolfgang Kubicki is aware of easy methods to get consideration – for instance with an interview in the course of the low-news Christmas season through which he makes a couple of jokes and makes daring predictions.

“We will reach double digits,” the deputy FDP chief now informed the journal “Stern”. “I’m definitely doing my 40th election campaign, I know that the mood can change dramatically at any time.” With the beginning of the brand new 12 months, individuals would rearrange themselves. “The old things are gone, things are being ticked off, they are concentrating on what is to come.” In current surveys, the FDP was between three and 5 p.c.

The North German not needs to have something to do with the coalition companions from the previous three years. Since it’s most likely not sufficient for the Union and the FDP alone, he can now think about a brand new three-way alliance – this time made up of the Union, the SPD and the FDP.

“If the SPD with Scholz ends up below 20 percent, which is what we have to assume, then all of today’s character noses will be gone. Then there will be no more Olaf Scholz, no Rolf Mützenich, no Saskia Esken and no Lars Klingbeil. Then such an alliance could work. There are still many in the SPD who have the Godesberg program in their heads, who believe in advancement, in economic growth and don’t just want to discuss gender toilets.” The SPD’s Godesberg party program of 1959 marked the party’s farewell to Marxism. Kubicki was seven years old when it was passed.

Kubicki categorically ruled out any government cooperation with the Greens for the FDP in the next four years. “The view of humanity is simply too different. We believe that people can shape their lives on their own responsibility. The Greens believe that people need to be protected. Politically it doesn’t fit. “I will definitely not agree to work with the Greens in the next legislature,” he stated.

Christian Lindner, Marco Buschmann and Volker Wissing signed the traffic light coalition agreement for the FDP.
