Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - Hesse's Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (CDU) has given the black-green coalition a good report card.

"My impression is that things are going very well for both partners," said the head of government of the German Press Agency in Wiesbaden, taking stock of around two years in government when the alliance was re-launched.

"The atmosphere is very neat."

There is no public dispute or profiling of the alliance partners against each other in Hesse.

"We have a very solid and strong alliance."

Christian Democrats and Greens have been ruling Hesse together since 2014.

The second edition of the coalition started in early 2019.

The black-green state government has only one vote majority in the second legislative period of cooperation.

The Greens doubled the number of their ministries to four.

The next state election in Hesse is planned for autumn 2023.

"In the second legislative period you know each other even better," said the Prime Minister.

«One is practiced.

It's going very well. "

Both parties have concluded a very careful contract with one another.

"What we have agreed together applies and we implement it bit by bit."

This principle also applies to the further construction of the A49 in Central Hesse.

The motorway is very important for rural areas, said Bouffier.

After completion, the line will connect Kassel and Gießen more directly.

The CDU respects that the Greens see it differently.

But there is an agreement on the construction of the route.

"And the Greens have kept to this agreement."

Environmental activists have protested against the clearing of the forest in the Dannenröder Forest for many weeks, in some cases massive.

"We have no more and no less discussion than in the first legislative period," assured the head of government.

«We maintain a very intensive exchange.

And that works. "

In the corona pandemic, those responsible in the state government have moved very closely together.

«We would all have liked to save ourselves the Corona year.

But it certainly brought the government and the coalition closer together. "

The CDU and the Greens are two different parties.

The political agenda in 2021 will be largely determined by the fight against Corona and the upcoming federal election, said the CDU federal chairman.

That will also determine the work in Hesse to a large extent.
