Kretschmann calls for increased authority for Habeck.

The Environment Political Party - Kretschmann calls for increased authority for Habeck.

Following the European election loss for the Greens, Baden-Württemberg's Minister President Winfried Kretschmann urges his party to adopt a new approach: greater flexibility in addressing climate issues and curbing irregular migration. Additionally, he insists on sole leadership for Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck.

Kretschmann expressed concerns about the Greens' inability to cater to public worries in "Table.Today" by Table Media, saying, "The question is: Will we now examine the situation objectively and without consideration for losses, or will we repeat the same mistakes we made in the previous federal election?"

Regarding environmental and climate policy, Kretschmann proposes that the Greens continue to pursue their objectives while remaining open-minded about the methods and means. Typically, the Greens favor a specific path to achieving goals, but they should not create policies that contradict the majority's opinions, he advised. Mentioning Habeck's Ministry's Heating Act as an example, Kretschmann said, "Politics should not be made against the majority of the population."

In terms of migration, Kretschmann advocate for more practicality. He believes irregular migration must be restricted. Serious criminals like the Mannheim stabber should be deported to Afghanistan. "Anyone who commits such crimes has forfeited their right to protection," he stated. "They must serve their sentence and then leave." Currently, the Greens have the opportunity to take a pragmatic stance on asylum policy.

To succeed in the federal election, Kretschmann advises his party to adopt a clear leadership structure. He is opposed to two leaders. When faced with challenging times, it's crucial to determine who is in charge. In his opinion, it's "the Vice Chancellor."
