Landtag – Düsseldorf – SPD state leader Kutschaty sees an opportunity for traffic lights in North Rhine-Westphalia – politics

Düsseldorf (dpa / lnw) – Thomas Kutschaty, SPD leader in North Rhine-Westphalia and top candidate for the upcoming state elections, sees the Berlin traffic light alliance as a model for North Rhine-Westphalia. “What works in Berlin can also work in North Rhine-Westphalia. But who knows, maybe in the end it will be enough for a two-party alliance,” said Kutschaty of the “Rheinische Post”. However, from his point of view, one should “not talk so much about coalitions” at such an early stage https://www.sueddeutsche.de/politik/. “We are three different parties,” he added. In earlier traffic light negotiations in other federal states, Kutschaty had already shown himself to be open to such a three-way alliance in North Rhine-Westphalia.

In the interview, he highlighted overlaps with both parties: “Many topics that we are currently discussing in the Bund with the Greens and the FDP also play a role in North Rhine-Westphalia – and we are currently getting good results in Berlin.” In education policy, for example, the NRW-FDP represents social democratic approaches with the introduction of a social index and talent schools in disadvantaged neighborhoods.

With a view to the upcoming election of Hendrik Wüst (CDU) as Prime Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Kutschaty was excited to see whether Wüst would also reshape the cabinet. The previous government under Laschet had “weaknesses in one or the other minister,” said Kutschaty. He did not give names. The first thing he expected from Wüst was a government statement on his plans for North Rhine-Westphalia. He also has to introduce his team.
