FDP will mit Pro-Auto-Programm punkten
www.tagesschau.de
Die FDP will mehr Autos in den Innenstädten und fordert weniger Platz für Fußgänger und Radfahrer. Das Pro-Auto-Programm soll ein gezielter Gegenentwurf zur Verkehrspolitik der Grünen sein. Die Kritik folgt prompt. Von Oliver Neuroth.

And the Greens party gave those Croûtons the traffic ministry…

    FDP just doing FDP things. If the concequences weren’t so dire, it would be almost funny to watch how comically bad they are in any and all things concerning the economy

    Meanwhile, German cities are working autonomously to make it more bicycle and pedestrian friendly. Jesus Christ FDP. I wonder if SPD and Grüne knew what an asshole Wissing is.

      It is par for the course to have a traffic minister like that. Everyone knew from the start that this was how it was always gonna end.

    FDP would not have agreed to the coalition if they didn’t get that ministry. It’s fucked, but people gave FDP enough votes to be a major pain in the ass from day 1

    Well, they are heading to the political graveyard at the moment, from participation in government right to the “other parties” heap. They are about to learn that if your political goals are solely focusing on making the top one percent even richer, that one percent will only get them one percent of votes.

      Probably the reason for that new direction; they noticed that quite some people are very emotionally heated against last generation etc and think ‘hey more cars in the city’ could bring them those voters. But most of them are not against doing sth against climate change… They are just part of the lazy majority that says anything as long as it doesn’t affect me and my lifestyle

    Yep, seeing as they’re not a ‘everyone has to agree to everything the leadership says’ kind of party, but one that accepts and promotes discourse, I feel absolutely fine voting for them every time and calling it out when they make a bad decision. I don’t think that holding the exterior ministry is helping Germany a lot to meet our climate goals, I do however see that the traffic ministry is failing the goals spectacularly after handing it off to the FDP
