Grunes invoked the red-green changeover

The green party conference in berlin on sunday unanimously adopted an election program for ecology, social reform and redistribution. Top candidate jurgen trittin issued the following slogan to the cheers of around 800 delegates: "replace black-yellow with green change."
Baden-wurttemberg premier winfried kretschmann’s call for tax policy restraint was not echoed by his party. The coalition of union and FDP reacted promptly to the decisions with uproar.
At the grunen party conference, SPD leader sigmar gabriel described the red-green coalition of choice as a landmark in an acclaimed guest speech. "It’s about fairness, about sustainability, about justice," said gabriel. The red-green coalition must be more than a mathematically possible coalition. "We are the lobby of real life," said grunen top candidate katrin goring-eckardt. Five months before the parliamentary elections, party leader claudia roth aggressively appealed for unity and confidence: "we’ll get it done!"
