Frankfurt - The general election is due in just under three weeks.

The hot phase of the election campaign has long since begun.

The Greens were number two behind the Union in the polls for a long time, but the SPD has now pushed past both of them to number one.

Despite the third place, the chances of the Greens participating in government are not bad.

Bundestag election: Baerbock criticizes previous governments - "A problem that has remained unchanged for 20 years"

Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock does not want to be satisfied with the current survey status and continues to fight for victory. In an interview with the

Frankfurter Rundschau *

she criticized the work of the previous governments under the leadership of Angela Merkel: "When I see how much is stuck - we are not making fast enough progress on climate protection, the social inequality in our education system has remained unchanged for 20 years Problem, we're lagging behind in terms of digitization - then I think that a new start would be good for the country. That works best with a green chancellorship. "

The SPD and the Greens are close, but the love between the two parties is not that great.

Baerbock criticizes: “In the social or financial area, the SPD and we are very close.

When it comes to climate protection, on the other hand, it slows down. ”Whether it is enough for a two-party or a three-party alliance is in the hands of the voters.

If you look at the entire span of the surveys, stability is not the right term: “It's more of a roller coaster ride.” Therefore, the next three weeks would be really exciting again.

According to her, the leadership of the GroKo and thus also its two chancellor candidates Laschet and Scholz would not stand for a departure: “We will work to make it clear that the Union and the SPD, with their masters at the top, support the continuation of the big ones Coalition stand - but that does not create a hold.

This is a problem, especially when it comes to mankind's greatest task, climate protection. "

Baerbock: "FDP and Union are doing too little to bridge this split"

The Green Chancellor candidate has little praise left for the Union and the FDP. She accuses the two parties of driving the split in the Federal Republic: “We can only modernize Germany together. To do this, we need to reduce the divide that exists between people with lower incomes on the one hand and the wealthy and top earners on the other. The FDP and the Union are doing too little to bridge this split - on the contrary: They are concentrating above all on relieving the rich and have no idea how to finance the investments that are needed for the modernization push. "

Baerbock is annoyed that the Greens do not stand for politics for the common man. In the interview, she complains that “the Union in particular always discovers its social heart when it is used as an argument to prevent climate protection. One could also tackle social injustice directly. It is not climate protection that is to blame for the fact that wages are sometimes too low in our country, the minimum wage is not yet 12 euros and every fifth child lives in poverty. This is due to a policy that is primarily intended to relieve top earners and does not focus on poverty. ”(Md)
