No Vote for Chancellor Tuesday

Grünen-Chef Felix Banaszak does not believe that members of the Green parliamentary faction will vote for Merz as Chancellor next Tuesday. “No, that cannot be assumed” he told RTL and ntv. “One must clearly say that Herr Merz would not bother with our votes now. He is obviously more interested in closing the flank to the conservative camp, also through the personnel selection that was announced yesterday” Banaszak said. “But generally, Friedrich Merz has not bothered with our votes in the past few weeks, except when it came to our votes on the amendment of the Basic Law and there it was somewhat reluctant.” In this sense, he added, he could exclude it. “I assume that the interest of those who now want to form a government is that their factions also help achieve a majority.
