“Everything is sorted from above”: The Greens have some problems with traffic lights – but the new personnel table is being discussed internally. A big castling is coming up.
Berlin – The Greens have recently sounded the traffic light alarm: The party sees itself on the defensive in the coalition negotiations, especially when it comes to climate issues – that is why the evil word “new elections” was heard from Baden-Württemberg for the first time. Either way, the ambitious schedule threatens to falter. On Wednesday the SPD, Greens and FDP wanted to collect the first results of their 22 coalition working groups. Intern. Without public statements.
Nonetheless, even in the ranks of the eco-party, people are already dreaming of a time after the negotiations: Internally, there are apparently quite specific considerations on the distribution of posts – from ministerial posts to party and parliamentary group leaders. According to several reports, there are four to five ministerial posts in the ranks of the Greens. The result could be a pretty big castling after all internal party wishes are taken into account.
Green ministerial rumors: From Habeck to Brantner – who now has job opportunities
The rule “everything is sorted from above” applies, writes on Wednesday about the one that is considered to be green taz. Means: The plans follow a kind of first access right of the tips Robert Habeck and Annalena Baerbock. The paper continues to bring the upcoming traffic light vice-chancellor Habeck into contact with the Ministry of Finance. Should FDP boss Christian Lindner prevail here – which recently seemed more likely – the Green boss could be interested in the Ministry of the Interior based on rumors.
Baerbock is also associated with two possible departments: In addition to a new, large climate ministry, also with the Foreign Office. The ultimately failed chancellor candidate had repeatedly pointed out foreign policy issues in the past few months – including dealing with China or the controversial Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline.
Greens: Hofreiter with “third party access”? Left wing of the party demands even more
In view of the party arithmetic, a “Fundi” could then have “third access to a ministerial office”, also thinks taz: Fractional leader Anton Hofreiter about. The MP from the Munich Land constituency already has a “preference” for one field of activity with the Ministry of Transport. Agriculture or the environment would also be in his area of knowledge. So much was already roughly known up to now. But the current speculations go a little further.
Because with a place for Hofreiter at the cabinet table, the desires would not be satisfied: After the posts for the two “Realos” Habeck and Baerbock and the left man Hofreiter, there must also be a left party Mrs come into play, the paper quotes a voice from the left wing of the Green Party. Possible candidates: The MPs Agnieszka Brugger and Katharina Dröge, for example for the development and economy departments. Elsewhere, ex-minister Renate Künast was also named as a candidate.
The complicated staff tableau of the Greens in a traffic light coalition – the current speculations:
- Two “sat” cabinet members: Robert Habeck (finance or internal affairs) and Annalena Baerbock (climate or external).
- “Third party access” to ministerial office: Anton Hofreiter (Transport or Environment).
- A female minister from the Fundi wing: For example Agniezska Brugger (development) or Katharina Dröge (economy) or Anne Spiegel (family).
- Possible ministerial candidates for the fifth cabinet post: For example Cem Özdemir (traffic) or Katrin Göring-Eckardt or Franziska Brantner.
- Two new party leaders: Top candidates at the moment are probably Ricarda Lang and Omid Nouripour.
- One or two new parliamentary group leaders: Possible candidates include Britta Haßelmann, Brugger or Dröge.
Green federal policy newcomer to Scholz ‘cabinet? Rumors of a move against the image of high earners
Another variant is a woman from state politics – for example the Rhineland-Palatinate Vice-Prime Minister Anne Spiegel. The report also says that the Greens are flirting with a socially oriented department in order to counteract the stereotype of the higher-income party. A family minister Spiegel could be a solution. Only after two “Fundi” politicians could other party celebrities have their turn in the case of a fifth Green Ministry: for example Cem Özdemir and Katrin Göring-Eckardt – who is nevertheless always associated with the office of the Federal President.
The tableau is of course rather confusing. Other media call other politicians: This is how the writes Heilbronn voice the Baden-Württemberg MP Franziska Brantner – ex-partner of the controversial Mayor of Tübingen Boris Palmer – chances of a place in the cabinet.
Habeck and Baerbock are probably going: New top Green duo already ready? “Time will tell”
It is clear, however, that in the event of government participation, Habeck and Baerbock would vacate the party leadership. The names for the co-boss positions taz also contenders: Ricarda Lang, ex-spokeswoman for the Green Youth, has been trading for the chief post “for a long time”. As a male party chairman, foreign expert Omid Nouripour is conceivable. At least he did not deny the speculation at the request of the newspaper. “Time will come, advice will come,” he said. Last had something similar too Time online reports: Lang and Nouripour “think very seriously” about the offices, the portal learned from party circles.
The offices remained as heads of the parliamentary group. Here, too, the paper mentions specific options: For example, Parliamentary Managing Director Britta Haßelmann and – once again – Brugger or Dröge. Here, too, the special situation with the Greens can be seen: The fact that Nouripour and Lange are being treated as party leaders is also due to the special party arithmetic: a left, a real, a woman, a man – and a politician with a migration background. Before the traffic light explorations, Greens were reprimanded for a lack of diversity in the party team: “Divers like white sausage” was the motto at the time. (fn)
