Overview
- The Frankfurter Grünen voted to approve the coalition with the CDU and SPD with roughly 80 percent support at their membership meeting on Saturday, accepting the agreement despite internal objections.
- Negotiators handed the powerful mobility (Verkehr) department to the CDU, a move Greens say will not mean a broad rollback in traffic and cycling policy and which party chair Burkhard Schwetje described as having 'no rollback'.
- The Greens keep responsibility for building and real estate now and secured a written addendum that will give them either the culture or education portfolio from the SPD in 2028 when those terms end.
- Business groups welcomed the pact’s planned one‑fifth cut in the property tax rate and some traffic‑policy shifts but warned the contract reduces planned buildable land in the northwest and lacks clear new land for housing and industry.
- Formal steps to reshape the city magistrate start with city assembly votes on June 25 and confirmations on August 27, and the Greens face a June 24 internal deadline to name which party members will fill their agreed posts.
