The Greens are holding a small party conference in Berlin and are evaluating the federal election. The Greens leader and candidate for Chancellor Annalena Baerbock was received with applause by the delegates.
The Greens want to come to terms with their federal election campaigns after they have fallen short of the polls.
“It was not the election campaign that I wanted to have waged,” said Federal Managing Director Michael Kellner on Saturday in Berlin at the small party conference of his party. The analysis should be done with external help. After a “brilliant start” it was not possible to maintain the momentum. “14.8 percent is a record for us, but there was more in it,” said Kellner, who was also the campaign manager for the Greens.
The head of the Greens and candidate for Chancellor Annalena Baerbock, whose book had encumbered the election campaign because of allegations of plagiarism, was greeted with great jubilation by the approximately one hundred delegates. Baerbock emphasized that the Greens were elected by seven million people, including many young people. There is a mandate to be part of the government for a real renewal of the country.
“We first co-governed in Germany,” said Baerbock, looking back at the two red-green coalitions under SPD Chancellor Gerhard Schröder from 1998 to 2005. Unlike when their party was only a small partner, the Greens wanted in ensure a great awakening and social renewal for the next government.
The talks to form a new government, which have already started between the Greens and the FDP, must continue to be conducted confidentially, said Baerbock. “2017 must not be repeated.” The ultimately unsuccessful talks to form a coalition of CDU / CSU, FDP and Greens were burdened by numerous indiscretions at the time. “Change needs reliability, responsibility.”
