CSU leader Markus Söder, CDU secretary general Carsten Linnemann and SPD leader Lars Klingbeil joined the traditional asparagus boat tour of the Seeheimer Kreis. The outing on Tegeler See served as preparation ahead of talks with employers and unions.
The event took place one day before the scheduled meeting of coalition leaders with employers and unions at the Chancellery. Participants discussed issues including the labor market, social reforms, taxes and bureaucracy reduction. Klingbeil called the joint participation a strong sign of unity in difficult times. Söder described a feverish mood in the country and urged compromises from the coalition. The asparagus boat tour has been held for 65 years. Decisions on reforms are scheduled for a coalition committee meeting on July 1.
