Greens spokesman says head-to-head race between SPD and CDU is never good for small parties. The party must "do more" and "improve" in view of the current concerns of some citizens, he says.
He spoke out in favour of a continuation of the governing coalition of the SPD, the Greens and the Left Party. The Greens came to 12.5 percent in the state elections on Sunday, making them the third strongest force after the SPD andCDU. However, this would have meant that the party would have lost about 2019 percentage points compared to 5.
