criticism

Interventionism

Various media criticized the decided additional spending of at least 23 billion euros, while the goal of paying off national debts would have been abandoned. The coalition agreement was kept very vague in essential points, and where specific statements were made, only increases in expenditure were planned: “Never in the last few years has a newly elected government in Berlin talked about spending and state intervention so unrestrainedly, even happily been ". At the European level, Germany is risking its credibility in advocating budget restructuring through savings. Focus magazine criticized “planned economy” tendencies; From the energy levy to the minimum wage to the rental price brake, interventions in the market economy are being made that are not justifiable and could cause serious economic damage.

Throttling of the energy transition

Environmental associations and the Federal Association for Renewable Energy criticized the fact that the coalition agreement is throttling instead of accelerating the energy transition. For example, expansion corridors are planned instead of minimum targets for renewable energies; this effectively caps the expansion of renewable energies. The conditions for renewable energies are not improving, but tend to deteriorate. There is no industrial policy for the solar industry. The promotion of biogas is to be concentrated on residues instead of promoting the greening of agriculture. Geothermal energy is not mentioned. The feed-in tariffs for wind power are to be limited to "good" locations above reference standards and permits for wind power plants are to be made more difficult (minimum distance of 2000 meters from residential areas). Hardly any specific measures have been agreed for the areas of mobility, efficiency and heating. The numerous exceptions for companies with the EEG surcharge are only to be "checked". The EU emissions trading scheme is not to be reformed, although it has considerable design flaws and is therefore currently hardly effective. Germany is going from a "pioneer" to a "follower".

"Maternal pension"

Parental leave periods for children born before January 1, 1992 are to be financed from pension insurance contributions. That would be a break with the previous principle, according to which the federal government pays the corresponding contributions from tax revenues . He currently pays an annually updated lump sum to the general pension insurance (Section 177 SGB VI). In the ZDFcheck , all of the experts questioned expressed their disapproval of this project announced by the CDU during the 2013 election campaign. This is now also being discussed critically in other media. The Foundation for the Rights of Future Generations criticized: "The mother's pension ties up extensive financial resources that are urgently needed elsewhere. Young families have to be supported while raising their children instead of granting the mothers a slightly higher pension afterwards Priorities set wrong. "

Intergenerational justice

Numerous youth representatives complained that the coalition agreement placed a one-sided burden on the young generation, so u. a. the foundation for the rights of future generations , young CDU politicians, and the BDKJ. In a brief analysis it says: "The pension policy of the grand coalition burdens the young generation, cannot be financed in the long term and does not fit into demographic reality. It ignores the need for reform, such as the Riester pension, and pursues expensive clientele policy. In the fight against growing poverty in old age she remains half-hearted. "

Church privileges

After the coalition agreement was signed, criticism of the dealings with the two large Christian churches came from those who were critical of religion and the church. The Humanist Press Service criticized this statement among other things: “ The established state church law in our country is a suitable basis for a partnership with the religious communities. “Herewith, according to the hpd, long overdue reforms regarding church taxes etc. are being passed over. The words “ To commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017, which is important far beyond the borders of Germany and Europe, the federal government will also make an appropriate contribution. We are grateful to note that Jewish life is growing stronger in our country. We support the Jewish communities and Jewish welfare, for example with the integration of immigrants and the development and expansion of educational and cultural institutions. “Were criticized because within two sentences an attempt was made to bring the anti-Semite Martin Luther into line with the influx of Jews to Germany.

minimum wage

The contract does not provide for inflation compensation . No increase with increasing productivity either. In 2017, 8.50 euros with 2% inflation would have the purchasing power of around 7.85 euros from 2013. If one adds the assumption of an annual productivity increase of 0.5 percent, the minimum wage in 2017 would have to be 9.40 euros to meet a minimum wage for 2013, according to Marlies Uken in Zeit Online .

SPD member vote

The membership vote was partly controversial. It was criticized, among others by Bundestag President Norbert Lammert (CDU), that the SPD members would decide on the future coalition and thus undermine and devalue the will of the voters. The SPD leadership and other supporters of the vote replied that the vote was part of intra-party democracy, and that an even smaller group of people at the Union would decide on the coalition. The constitutional lawyer Christoph Degenhart sees in the member's vote an interference with the free mandate of the MPs, since the members of the party decide how the parliamentary group should vote. The 2nd Chamber of the Second Senate of the Federal Constitutional Court decided on December 6, 2013 to reject an urgent motion by a private person against the membership vote, as it did not consider the establishment of internal party positions to be state action and the free mandate of the Bundestag members was not endangered by the vote.

Coalition committee

The following members belonged to the coalition committee of this new grand coalition:

  • the party leaders (each with government office):
    • Angela Merkel (CDU), Federal Chancellor
    • Sigmar Gabriel (SPD), Federal Minister
    • Horst Seehofer (CSU), Prime Minister
