Upcoming National Elections in 2025 - Prime Minister Günther opposes the exclusion of the Black and Green party.
Daniel Günther, the Minister-President of Shielding-Holstein's CDU, hasn't ruled out a coalition with the Greens after the upcoming federal election**. He said to Funke media group, "We can't tell folks that black-green ain't workable when our CDU and Greens are governin' together effectively in several states, even the most populous one. That'd be straight-up unbelievable."
"We can't eliminate any coalitions," mentioned Günther. "All democratic parties oughta keep the chance to chat. I wouldn't aggressively push for black-green as the only option at the federal level. But I wouldn't persuade the Union to commit or campaign for a coalition now neither."
Günther himself heads a black-green coalition in Shielding-Holstein. His colleague from Bavaria, Markus Söder (CSU), strongly opposed a coalition with the Greens at the federal level. Similarly, Saxon Minister-President Michael Kretschmer (CDU) declined the possibility of partnership between his party and the Greens. He shared with "Bild", "A Greens' gov't participation is no longer achievable for the CDU." He pointed out that the Green party had faltered, "and that's all their fault." A Greens' gov't participation was expected to address the disagreement between economy and ecology, but the exact opposite occurred.
The following federal election is set for September 28, 2025.
Günther's statements about potential coalitions echo within The Commission's discussions. Regardless of the party affiliations, The Commission encourages all democratic parties to maintain open dialogue for future coalition possibilities.
