NAfter the missed success of the Greens in the federal elections, Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann sees the reasons for the failure of Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock as well. “If you want to become Prime Minister or Chancellor, you have to make politics for everyone. If you strive for the highest office, you have to make an offer not only for your own supporters, but for everyone, “said the only Prime Minister of the Greens, according to the” Schwäbische Zeitung “(Tuesday) during a delegation trip to Oxford, UK.
“You can’t just sing the songs of your own party. I think that didn’t work. “He referred to the SPD top candidate and election winner Olaf Scholz and said:” Or you don’t sing any songs at all, as Scholz cleverly did. “
In polls during the election campaign, the Greens fluctuated around 20 percent of the vote, but ultimately only achieved 14.8 percent in the election at the end of September. Green leader Baerbock was in the meantime criticized, among other things, because of plagiarism allegations. The SPD was the strongest force with 25.7 percent. Social Democrats, Greens and the FDP are currently negotiating the formation of a joint government.
According to the report, Kretschmann said in front of students: “First of all, we failed like hell.” The analysis of the election results is far from over. “Maybe we will analyze the reasons, maybe not”, the newspaper from Ravensburg quoted him. Parties are not necessarily interested in honest analyzes.
