« I’m not happy that the social dialogue broke apart »

Carole Hartmann would like to have his party leader on April 27th at the DP Congress. But what does the Democratic Party expect with Carole Hartmann? There will be no revolution, said the current DP general secretary on Thursday on radio 100.7. The party’s balance sheet is positive, « but we are not yet over with our ideas, » said Hartmann.

There is still a lot to do in terms of socio -political policy. The DP wants to further strengthen people’s rights – keyword freedom of expression or women’s rights. According to the reform of the right to adoption – recognition of the right to adoption for individuals – they wanted to contribute further in order to ensure more equality and to modernize society. A next step is, for example, the recognition of same -sex parents.

Government and unions in the clinch

As for the current conflict between the government and the unions in labor policy matters, Carole Hartmann said that she was not particularly happy about « the social dialogue broken apart ». It is important to get the social partners back to a table, listen to all sides and try to discuss solutions together.

The social table announced by Premier Luc Frieden (CSV) has not yet taken place. However, it was not clear to her what the objective of the « Social Dalvos » was, said Carole Hartmann. However, it is important to involve the social partners relating to them, such as labor law reforms.

Hartmann, however, defended Family Minister Max Hahn (DP), who had limited access to the “Wanteraktioun” last year. Max Hahn endeavors to create further structures together with the communities. He also works on the national poverty plan, which is supposed to help « to help people who are not doing well again ».
