Dieter Salomon: Freiburg’s ex-mayor attacks Robert Habeck

Shortly before the federal election, the Greens dispute threatens. Freiburg’s ex-mayor Dieter Salomon accuses Robert Habeck of harming Annalena Baerbock in an interview.

Actually, the panel discussion is about “Strong women in Freiburg” when Dieter Salomon is asked about the candidacy for Chancellor of the Green Annalena Baerbock. In his answer, Salomon sharply criticized Robert Habeck, who more or less voluntarily let Baerbock go first in the race for the candidacy for chancellor: Habeck delivered a “document of madness” with Annalena Baerbock in April only two hours after the nomination; his behavior was “incredibly unprofessional”. “With that he damaged the campaign,” said Salomon, like him stern learned from participant circles.

Salomon was the Lord Mayor of Freiburg from 2002 to 2018 and thus the first green mayor of a large city. After that he withdrew from politics, but his word should still carry weight with many Greens. So, even before the general election, Salomon begins analyzing errors, which the Greens – depending on the election results – should deal with from next Monday.

Poll numbers of the Greens are falling

Last polls only see the Greens a few days before the federal election in favor of the voters, while in May they were at 24 percent – and thus only one percentage point behind the Union. So it currently looks as if the Greens have gambled away the chance of moving into the Chancellery within a few months.

Six days after the general election, the Greens want to meet for a party congress. The so-called state council is scheduled for October 2nd. The meeting usually takes place after federal elections to discuss the result and to talk about a possible formation of a government, as a spokeswoman for the DPA said on Wednesday. If the Greens are not part of the new government coalition, the party threatens to quarrel there.
