The desire for a coalition with the Union is growing within the Greens. One prominent representative says that people are “exhausted” from governing in traffic lights.
Berlin – Bundestag Vice President Katrin Göring-Eckardt considers a black-green government coalition in the federal government to be promising. “We govern in many countries with democratic parties in various constellations. “You can certainly feel that we are exhausted from governing in alliance with the SPD and FDP,” said the Green politician New Osnabrücker Zeitung. “And then it’s completely okay to point out that the black-green coalition can govern well in the states.”
The relevant coalitions in the federal states solved the existing problems, Göring-Eckardt told the newspaper. “This can also work at the federal level. The CDU is faced with the question of which course it is taking: Friedrich Merz and Hendrik Wust through or Markus Söder? That will become clear in 2025.” The next federal election will take place regularly in autumn 2025.
CSU leader Söder has threatened to veto a coalition with the Greens after the federal election
CSU leader Söder, who had pledged his full support to CDU chancellor candidate Merz, threatened a little later that the Bavarian sister party would veto a federal coalition with the Greens. Merz is currently ruling out such a coalition, but not necessarily in the future – if the Greens change.
The South German newspaper Merz said it was about “a fundamental course correction in the Greens’ economic and environmental policy”. Black-green coalitions already govern in Baden-Württemberg, Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia, where Wüst is head of government.
Where does the Greens’ path lead before the federal election?
Last week, the two Green Party leaders Ricarda Lang and Omid Nouripour announced their withdrawal after the failure in the state elections in Brandenburg. Observers expect that in the future the party could focus more closely on its possible candidate for chancellor, Economics Minister Robert Habeck. (dpa/jal)
