Unplanned incident in the TV triumph of the chancellor candidate: When Annalena Baerbock was asked about cooperation with the Left Party, it crashed.
Berlin - Exactly two weeks before the federal election, the Chancellor candidates Olaf Scholz (SPD), Armin Laschet (CDU) and Annalena Baerbock (Greens) face each other in direct triall.
Right at the beginning of the TV broadcast on ARD and ZDF there was a curious incident.
When Baerbock was asked about a possible collaboration with the Left Party after a few minutes, it suddenly crashed in the television studio.
"Oops, the studio is collapsing," said Baerbock and acknowledged the action with a laugh.
“We are now shortly before the general election.
The way things are rumbling here in the studio right now, this Bundestag election will be so exciting. ”Moderator Maybritt Illner commented soberly:“ Everything is still there ”.
Triell: SPD and Greens flirt with the Left Party - Baerbock wants to "talk to all democratic parties"
According to current surveys, a red-red-green coalition with the SPD, the Greens and the Left is mathematically possible.
In the end, neither the Social Democrats nor the Greens wanted to deny such a coalition.
Differences such as in foreign policy were denounced, but a future joint government was not ruled out per se.
The Greens rule in Berlin, Hamburg and Thuringia together with the Left Party.
Baerbock said on Sunday evening as follows: "The federal government must pursue an active foreign policy and the left has recently made it clear that it cannot bear this international responsibility." when democratic parties don't talk to each other.
We will talk to all democratic parties. "

Triell: Baerbock does not want to compare leftists with AfD - "extremely dangerous"
Moderator Illner straddled in between and wanted to know whether the left, according to Baerbock, owned this label.
“Is it democratic, semi-democratic?
Would it be just as dangerous for this country as the AfD? ”Baerbock replied“ under no circumstances ”.
The Green candidate considers the equation of the AfD and the Left Party to be “extremely dangerous”.
This belittles the fact that “the AfD is not based on the Basic Law”.
According to current polls, the Left Party is only just above the five percent hurdle. It is therefore not certain whether the party around the two chairmen Susanne Hennig-Wellsow and Janine Wissler will even move into the Bundestag. In a recent poll on Sunday (September 12th), the left reached six percent. The Greens would have 15 percent, the CDU 21 percent and the SPD 26 percent.
