The Green Party in the German state of Hesse has caused controversy by revealing confidential discussions about proposed increases in allowances for leading parliamentarians. This revelation has strained the existing coalition between the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Greens, with some suggesting a potential “coalition break”. The discussions revolved around a “Democracy Package” that aims to raise allowances for members of the parliamentary presidency and faction leaders. The Greens’ decision to publicly highlight only one aspect of the package has been criticized for breaching trust and democratic norms. The CDU, along with the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Free Democratic Party (FDP), expressed their outrage at the Greens’ actions. This situation has added further tension to the ongoing negotiations between the CDU and the SPD to form a coalition government.
