Drogas expected decision from Habeck about Green-Chancellor candidacy
Droge referred to Habeck's statements from the previous evening, stating that further questions regarding a chancellor candidacy by the Greens-Bundesrat still needed to be decided. Annalena Baerbock explained in an interview with the US broadcaster CNN on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Washington that she wanted to fully focus on her role as Foreign Minister.
From Droge's perspective, this was a "very responsible decision." The timing and manner of the announcement were also understandable, as the Greens parliamentary group leader stated on RTL and ntv. Baerbock clarified how German foreign policy would align with this decision.
Green Bundestag representative Sven-Christian Kindler expressed the expectation that "Robert Habeck will play an extremely important role for us in the campaign." However, the decision would be popular within party circles, he added.
"We need teamplay," Kindler said, referring to Habeck's popularity alongside Baerbock as two of the most popular politicians in the Greens. Regarding Baerbock's decision, Kindler expressed his "deep respect for this decision, which puts collective responsibility above personal ambitions."

Katharina Dröge, a Green-Bundesrat member, referred to Robert Habeck's statements from the previous evening, highlighting the need for further decisions regarding his chancellor candidacy. At the NATO-Summit in Washington, CNN interviewed Green Party's Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, who expressed her intent to solely focus on her current role.
Dröge regarded Baerbock's decision as "very responsible." Sven-Christian Kindler, a Green Bundestag representative, noted that Habeck would play a crucial role in the Green-Chancellor campaign. He also appreciated the importance of teamwork, given Habeck and Baerbock's popularity within the party.
In reaction to Baerbock's decision, Kindler showed deep respect, considering it a demonstration of collective responsibility over personal ambitions. Meanwhile, some party members perceived the withdrawal as a thorny issue, likening it to a Danish 'Drøse' (thistle), causing discomfort and disputes in internal party circles.
