Green-CDU Coalition Agreement Finalized in Baden-WürttembergAlmost eight weeks post-election, Greens and CDU settle on government deal with detailed ministry division and a May 13 vote.
- Nearly eight weeks after the state election, the Greens and CDU agreed on a coalition contract in Baden-Württemberg.
- The division of ministries assigns Finance, Science, Environment, Social Affairs, and Construction to the Greens, while the CDU takes Interior, Economy, and others.
- Although the Greens hold the Minister-President position, they receive one fewer ministry than the CDU, which also secures the parliamentary presidency.
- The coalition will formally begin when Cem Özdemir is elected Minister-President on May 13.
It is not the smallest common denominator.— Cem Özdemir, Green party lead negotiator, said after the agreement on the Baden-Württemberg coalition treaty.
