The Greens are looking for direction and relevance. At the party conference in Hanover, party leaders Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak want to set new accents and bring the party out of stagnation. Maximilian Stacheit reports on the mood in the party, debates on conscription, the Middle East and the question of how much controversy the Greens have to endure in order to reposition themselves.
In the 200-second interview, Banaszak explains why he sees his party stabilized, how it is moving away from the years with Robert Habeck and Annalena Baerbock and why material concerns and climate policy should go together in the future.
Finally, it’s about the coalition committee in the Chancellery. Rasmus Buchsteiner assesses how entrenched Friedrich Merz is in the pension dispute, what role the Young Group plays and why the Chancellor has to maneuver between securing power and seeking compromise.
