Green leader Robert Habeck has not ruled out a left alliance after the federal election.

Voters knew "that the mutual exclusion of parties can ultimately lead to ungovernability," Habeck told the newspapers of the Funke media group.

However, he set several conditions for a possible collaboration.

The Left Party must "prove to a special degree that it is capable of governing and ready to take responsibility for this country," said Habeck.

This includes a commitment to NATO.

“But also that the industrial core of this republic will not be destroyed.

That cannot be done with us. "

No "exclusionary disease"

The Greens would conduct an independent election campaign and would not engage in “exclusionism”.

Then the sovereign decide what government options are there.

"And the one in which you can implement most of the necessary projects has the greatest chance of being realized," said the head of the Greens.

The Greens, with their candidate for Chancellor Annalena Baerbock, are currently increasing their polls and have ousted the Union from its top position several times.

CDU in the polls - because of Laschet?

According to the ZDF “Politbarometer”, the Greens are just 26 percent ahead of the CDU / CSU, who come to 25 percent.

The party of Chancellor candidate Baerbock increased by five percentage points compared to the previous month, the Union with Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet lost six points.

With the other parties, there is only slight movement in the FDP: it has increased by one percentage point to ten percent.

The SPD (14 percent), AfD (eleven percent) and Left (seven percent) remain unchanged.

However, 50 percent of those questioned would prefer a government led by the CDU, only 39 percent a government under the Greens.

CSU General Secretary Markus Blume sees Laschet's candidacy for chancellor as the cause of the Union's low polls.

"The great disappointment with the outcome of the personnel decision is reflected in the surveys," said Blume of the "Augsburger Allgemeine".

"Many, not only in Bavaria, would have liked Markus Söder," said Blume, referring to the decision on the Union's candidate for chancellor.
