Greens: Civey poll: Clear majority for Habeck as Vice Chancellor

Will Robert Habeck be the next Vice Chancellor of the Federal Republic? Compared with his Greens co-boss Annalena Baerbock, he scores significantly better in a recent survey.

If the Greens were to participate in government, a clear majority of Germans would, according to a Civey survey, prefer Greens party leader Robert Habeck to co-leader Annalena Baerbock as vice-chancellor. When asked “Should Robert Habeck or Annalena Baerbock be Vice Chancellor, if the next federal government consists of the SPD, Greens and FDP?” around 69 percent of those questioned answered with Habeck. Only around 15 percent favored Baerbock in the survey for “Spiegel”.

A similar picture emerged with a view to a possible coalition of the Union, the Greens and the FDP. 68 percent would be for Habeck, 14 percent for Baerbock. Habeck said on Tuesday that at this point in time the question of who would take over the post of Vice Chancellor was “completely irrelevant”.

The Greens had become the third strongest force in the Bundestag election on Sunday with 14.8 percent. The leaders of the Greens and FDP have already started preliminary investigations and want to sound out the basic lines for cooperation on Friday in a larger group before meetings with the SPD and the Union are to take place.
