Green successes: Kretschmann does not believe in a shift in power within the federal government

Not only since the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia have the Greens been growing in popularity. However, the Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg warns against overconfidence.

Baden-Württemberg’s Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann warned against overconfidence after his party’s electoral successes in the state elections in Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia.

One always thinks after state elections that the balance of power in the federal government will shift, said the Greens politician on Saturday on Deutschlandfunk. “It usually settles faster than you think and the troubles of the plains come back.”

The Greens are pleased that federal ministers such as Robert Habeck, Cem Özdemir and Annalena Baerbock cut a good figure, said Kretschmann, referring to the current popularity ratings of Green politicians. “But we are not deriving any additional claims to power from this.” These are difficult offices that are now the focus, as Kretschmann said. You have to keep people together now. “The coalition must continue to function. You shouldn’t get cocky or show any kind of triumphalism.” One must remain modest even in victory.
