Göppingen (dpa / lsw) - SPD leader Saskia Esken has criticized the future green-black state government for wanting to cut back on climate protection due to lack of money.
"Although the Greens have been the prime minister for ten years, a cash fall has also brought the Greens' election program to a collapse," said Esken on Saturday in a video message on the occasion of the state party conference of the SPD in Göppingen.
Green climate protection is now subject to financing.
With the SPD at a traffic light, there would have been a chance for real renewal, according to Esken in the southwest.
SPD regional leader Andreas Stoch also criticized the agreement between the Greens and the CDU: "The coalition agreement with financing proviso is a declaration of bankruptcy for the political formation in Baden-Württemberg."
What was presented with the contract remains vague in many places.
It contains many green dots.
He has not yet found the black handwriting.
Stoch was disappointed with the party's performance in the state elections in March.
One could not be satisfied with the election result.
In the state elections in March, the SPD undercut its already weak result from 2016 and landed at 11.0 percent, which corresponds to a minus of 1.7 points.
At least the Social Democrats made it to third place.

At the meeting, which largely took place virtually due to Corona, the party prepared its state list for the federal election.
The SPD federal chairwoman Esken, who has been in parliament for the Social Democrats since 2013, was nominated for first place on the list.
She represents the constituency of Calw / Freudenstadt.
The 59-year-old was elected to the new dual leadership of the SPD one and a half years ago together with Norbert Walter-Borjans.
Among other things, the two had left the Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz, who had also applied, behind them.
Esken said with reference to the federal government in Berlin: "Olaf Scholz and the SPD have maneuvered the country safely through difficult areas in stormy times."
