Mainz (dpa / lrs) - The SPD was the first of the three traffic light partners to approve the coalition agreement for the new government in Rhineland-Palatinate.
307 of the 319 delegates voted for the contract on Thursday evening at the digital party conference.
Climate neutrality by 2040 at the latest, the expansion of biotechnology and attractive city centers are the three focal points.
Much praise and few critical remarks shaped the debate. MEP Katarina Barley, for example, spoke of a “modern program” and emphasized, among other things, that there is also a good European chapter. The Juso state chairman Kurt Umut particularly praised the planned schools of the future, the expansion of school social work and the climate target. "It is we who have to live with the effects of today's decisions."
Prime Minister Malu Dreyer had previously promoted the priorities of climate protection, educational justice and work.
"We are the first federal state that has set itself this ambitious climate target," she said in Mainz - where the board of directors met live in a hall.
"Everything we decide today has to be about sustainability," said Dreyer.
That is why this topic will also be settled in the State Chancellery.
