It was the last TV exchange between the three candidates for the Chancellery * before the election date *.
Despite poor poll results *, Laschet is shortly beforehand convinced of a victory for the CDU * / CSU *.
Update 9.45 p.m.:
And with the question of the possible coalitions, the third TV triad also comes to an end.
In the final statements it can be emphasized that Baerbock and Scholz have clearly spoken out in favor of a union in the opposition.

TV triumph before the federal election: Baerbock and Scholz agree - Union should be in opposition
Update 9.40 p.m.:
Finally, the moderators direct the topic to possible coalitions and want the three candidates to have clear commitments to possible alliances. Baerbock does not want to rule out a “democratic” coalition. But the Union sees them in the opposition. "The Union stands for yesterday's politics." It is therefore "time for the Union to go into opposition."
Laschet does not want to form a coalition with the extreme left and does not want to form a coalition and speak with the extreme right. Scholz is surprisingly clear: “I don't want to hide the fact that I would like to form a government with the Greens. I believe that most of the voters would like the Union to be in the opposition, ”explains Scholz. The Finance Minister only issued a clear denial about a coalition with the AfD.
Update 9:34 p.m.:
Now it's about digitization.
"It will happen in this decade," replies Scholz when asked when there will be sufficient internet in Germany.
The finance minister wants to guarantee full network coverage.
Baerbock once again names the reduction of bureaucracy as an important weapon in the fight for a digital Germany.
“Compared to other OECD countries, we are in a disastrous position.
My specific suggestion is: the network operators who are expanding in cities must also expand in rural areas, ”demands the Green politician.
“Make the pace.
Mobile network first, ”is Laschet's strategy for digitization.
However, Laschet cannot give an exact date by when the grid expansion can be implemented.
TV triumph before the federal election: Scholz does not even have a say in the topic of internal security
Update 9:27 p.m.: Change of
topic internal security.
“There are several threats.
The terrorist one is the greatest because it kills people, ”explains Laschet.
As Federal Chancellor, he wanted to make internal and external security a priority.
Laschet also speaks out in favor of consistent deportations with regard to clan crime and Islamist threats.
"We are in a constitutional state here, so you clearly have to adhere to the rule of law," said Baerbock in response to Laschet's statement.
The Greens chief wants to relieve the police authorities and the judiciary through further recruitment.
“With a view to threats, I say clearly that they must be monitored,” Baerbock also demands.
Scholz does not even have a say in this topic block.
Zervakis moves on to the next topic without getting the SPD candidate for chancellor on board.
TV triall to Bundestagswaghl: Laschet wants to make care as Chancellor a big issue
Update 9:20 p.m.:
Keyword care. “We have to do several things with care. First of all, we have to make sure that we pay properly, ”demands Scholz. The finance minister is also in favor of a benchmark to ensure that there are enough carers per facility. "We also need more solidarity in the system so that we have good care and these great men and women have more perspective."
"By not only clapping in a pandemic, but also changing the framework," Baerbock explains her approach to improving the situation.
The Green boss is also in favor of better pay for nurses.
“In order to get more staff, we need an increase in skilled workers,” Baerbock continues.
The Green boss also wants to campaign for a 35-hour week for carers.
Finally, Laschet also has his say.
“The job has to become more attractive.
As Federal Chancellor, I want to make this a major socio-political issue for the next few years, ”promises the CDU leader.
TV triumph before the federal election: Laschet calls for face-to-face teaching - Baerbock for compulsory testing in companies
Update 9.10 p.m.:
Next up is the Corona
issue
. “One thing is very clear. Those of the adults who have not been vaccinated run a very high risk of being infected, ”states Scholz and continues to promote vaccination in society. “I was someone who always said very early on: We want face-to-face teaching,” explains Laschet when asked about a possible return to home schooling. "Face-to-face lessons make it possible to keep the poverty gap together." "We have to promote cross-party vaccination," demands Laschet and thus agrees with Scholz.
"It is not possible to have a vaccination in Germany," states Baerbock and calls for the highest priority for daycare centers and schools in the pandemic.
The Greens boss is especially responsible for adults and calls for mandatory testing in companies as well.
Vaccination offers would also have to be expanded to include supermarkets.
TV triumph before the federal election: Baerbock approaches Laschet - "Ask me what's wrong with you"
Update 9:04 p.m.:
In the climate debate, Scholz again focuses on the topic of power supply and underlines the relevance of industry in the upcoming process.
The finance minister is primarily in favor of expanding wind power and then also refers to Laschet.
“I think the reference to nuclear energy is wrong.
I am glad that the last red-green government acted like that. "
"Green life means freedom and Mr. Scholz has underlined that the freedom of children is not so important to him," proclaims Baerbock.
"If you continue like this, it means that there will be flash floods every year," said the Greens leader, referring to the flood disaster in summer.
"If we don't do anything now, it will be priceless in the future."
In a counter-speech to Baerbock, Laschet speaks out against bans in order to stop climate change. “EEG must be abolished. That was the biggest redistribution that we have seen in the last few years, ”says Laschet over several objections from Baerbock. “I wonder what's the matter with you, Mr. Laschet. It's all slipping away from the world in which we currently live for decades, ”the Green leader responded sharply to the CDU leader. While Baerbock and Laschet are working again, Scholz is patient.
Update 8:55 p.m .:
“We have to make our industry climate neutral. This is the greatest industrial modernization that we have ever had before us, ”said Scholz, introducing his first statement on the subject of climate protection. The SPD candidate for Chancellor is calling for the expansion figures to be determined quickly in order to secure the power supply for the Federal Republic. “It's a very serious problem. If we don't do that, then nobody will, ”the finance minister continued. "If we in Germany use our means to develop the technologies that make it possible to operate in a climate-neutral manner," we could offer other countries to operate in a climate-neutral manner themselves.
On the subject of climate protection, Laschet speaks about the fact that Germany has withdrawn from nuclear power too quickly.
That is why you are now facing a "huge challenge" in Germany.
"That requires a completely new European cohesion and cooperation in wind and solar power," demands the CDU boss.
“This Bundestag election is a choice of direction,” explains Baerbock and shortly afterwards addressed Scholz and Laschet.
“Your climate measures are not enough.
Mr. Scholz, you don't have to calculate how much electricity you will need in 2045. You know that, ”accuses Baerbock of the SPD candidate for chancellor.
With the “gentlemen of the GroKo” there would only be “keep it up”.
“Do you want to comply with the Paris Climate Agreement or continue to generate electricity from coal for 18 years?
That doesn't fit together at the back and front, ”is Baerbock's final reproach to her competitors.
TV triad before the federal election: Laschet with a strange dropout - CDU boss visibly tense.
Update 8.45 p.m .:
"You believe that you will earn more with tax increases, in the time before the corona pandemic we saw the opposite," Laschet counters on Baerbock's demands for higher taxation for higher earners.
"Can you please stay with the facts, what you are saying is not true," the Greens boss then tackled Laschet, who accused the Greens of burdening medium-sized companies heavily.
Scholz holds back again at first discreetly and acknowledges Laschet's statements with a smile.
On the subject of Hartz IV and citizens' money, the SPD candidate for Chancellor explains “We also want the rates to be more generous. We have to change something. ”Baerbock also speaks out on the subject of Hartz IV.“ We currently have the situation that the job centers cannot take care of people getting back into employment. They are busy distributing sanctions if someone has written too few applications. ”The Green leader also advocates cutting bureaucracy. Shortly afterwards, Baerbock approaches Laschet and catches the CDU chief on the wrong foot. “I didn't understand what to go into,” stammered Laschet, looking visibly tense. Zervakis quickly plays the ball to Scholz,which underlines the similarities between the SPD and the Greens on the subject of Hartz IV.
TV triumph before the federal election: Scholz attacks Laschet - "The point where we differ"
Update 8:35 p.m.:
Keyword minimum wage.
Laschet defends his position not to increase this to 12 euros.
"That is the job of the collective bargaining parties," explains the CDU boss.
"I do not consider a flat-rate minimum wage in parliament to be appropriate bypassing the collective bargaining parties," said Laschet.
“You fall back in the 90s,” countered Baerbock sharply and pointed out that there was still a large wage gap between men and women.
Scholz initially holds back and is then asked for a position.
"12 euros an hour gross is still not a lot of money, but what you can achieve with it is that those who get it earn a little more." There are many beneficiaries of this "necessary reform", especially in the East.
When asked, Scholz emphasized that the minimum wage was a basic requirement of his possible coalition.
"Then all that remains is red-red-green, because otherwise he has no partner for it," interjects Laschet.
“I'm not doing this because the election campaign is on, but for the dignity of the citizens.
That is perhaps the point where we differ, ”Scholz countered pointedly to the CDU leader.
TV triumph before the federal election: Social justice - Baerbock wants to "lift children out of poverty"
Update 8:27 p.m.:
The first block of topics concerns social justice. “I campaigned early on to ensure that we get a minimum wage in Germany. Now I want that to be raised to twelve euros so that work is more worthwhile, ”Scholz explains his position. In his answer, Laschet is understandable: “It is an important task of politics to contribute to growth and jobs as a whole,” explains the CDU leader, referring to Angela Merkel, who lowered the unemployment rate during her legislative period. Baerbock also sees the social question as a question of equality. In addition to a minimum wage of twelve euros per hour, the Greens boss calls for “bringing children out of poverty.” That is why Baerbock speaks out in favor of unbureaucratic child security.
Update 8:20 p.m .:
"I would like to work to ensure that there is more respect in our society," replies Olaf Scholz to the introductory question of what he could offer the population as Chancellor.
Armin Laschet speaks of the federal election as a directional decision.
"How do we get back to economic growth?" Asks the CDU boss.
The subject of security is also high on the agenda at Laschet.
For this he will work with his party.
Finally, Baerbock is allowed to submit a sentence.
"Now politics has to surpass itself," explains the Greens leader.
Germany must finally be governed better.
TV triall before the federal election now live - last confrontation of the candidates
Update 8.15 p.m.:
Sunday evening primetime.
The third triall before the federal election begins.
Which candidate is convincing today?
Linda Zervakis and Claudia von Brauchitsch greet the audience and, after a short round of introductions, introduce the questionnaire.
Update from September 19, 8:10 p.m.:
The third TV triall begins in a few minutes.
In the run-up to the show, there was increased criticism of the presenter Claudia von Brauchitsch.
The reason for this was the former occupation of the 47-year-olds.
TV triumph before the federal election: How aggressive is Laschet?
Update from September 19, 7.40 p.m.:
Tonight it will also be interesting to see whether Armin Laschet will put Olaf Scholz under pressure again because of the searches of the Ministry of Finance by the Osnabrück public prosecutor's office. In the last triell, Laschet had raised allegations against the finance minister with reference to the raid and accused him of "glossing over". Scholz, on the other hand, had invoked that the investigation was aimed at the FIU and not the Ministry of Finance. Tonight, the CDU boss could dig deeper at this point.
Update from September 19, 7:20 p.m.:
Even if three candidates will face each other again in the TV triumph, the fight for the Chancellery has long since mutated into a duel between Laschet and Scholz.
For Annalena Baerbock, the third issue is therefore primarily about promoting votes to the Greens outside of her person.
For the 40-year-old, however, it could also offer the opportunity to take tough action against her two competitors.
TV triumph before the federal election: Laschet on course to attack Scholz?
Update from September 19, 6.45 p.m.:
One week before the federal election in 2021, the latest polls seem to confirm the trend of recent weeks. The SPD is in the forefront of all major polling institutes and has a good chance of appointing Olaf Scholz as the next Federal Chancellor. This is one of the reasons why Armin Laschet could see the triad as the last chance to publicly distribute it against Olaf Scholz and bring the Union back to the Social Democrats. However, the candidates will not touch each other with kid gloves anyway.
Update from September 19, 6:31 p.m.:
The third edition of the TV
trio is
moderated by an all-female moderation team.
Linda Zervakis and Claudia von Bruschitz have the task of tonight to keep the verbal arguments within the right framework.
Update from September 19, 6 p.m .:
All good things come in threes.
At 8.15 p.m. Armin Laschet, Olaf Scholz and Annalena Baerbock meet in a final TV triall.
One week before the federal election, the chancellor candidates of the major parties have one last chance with the voters to point and attack the competition.
Federal election 2021: Third TV triall for the candidates - last chance to distribute
Original message from September 19:
Berlin - Three times three candidates for the Chancellery in the TV dispute: The last of a total of three trialles before the federal election * are again hosted by private broadcasters.
Pro Sieben, Sat.1 and Kabel eins will broadcast the talk with Olaf Scholz, Armin Laschet and Annalena Baerbock on September 19 from 8.15 p.m.
Linda Zervakis and Claudia von Brauchitsch will moderate the round.
Relatively new: the word "Blitzumfrage".
According to a survey conducted by Infratest dimap, the SPD candidate for Chancellor Olaf Scholz * won the second triall on ARD / ZDF.
41 percent of viewers found it to be the most convincing.
Union Chancellor candidate Armin Laschet * landed behind Scholz with 27 percent, ahead of Green Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock * with 25 percent.
In an (just as quick) Forsa survey after the first triumph on RTL / ntv, viewers had also seen Scholz as the winner - behind, however, Baerbock in second place and Laschet in third.
Before the Bundestag election triell: Laschet speaks of the "hubris of the SPD"
Laschet (CDU), however, continues to believe in the election victory despite poor poll numbers.
"I am convinced that we will be the first to cross the finish line," he told
Welt am Sonntag
as announced in advance.
"We feel that something is moving."
He assumed that the Social Democrats, who were ahead in the polls *, had a premature certainty of victory.
"The hubris of the SPD, this election has already been won, is shattered by reality." Laschet continued to tell the newspaper: "I want to do everything so that red-red-green does not find a majority - that's what the final sprint is all about."
Surveys before the third TV triad: GroKo possible, but unpopular
With all caution with regard to the survey values - a two-party alliance is currently unlikely: In terms of figures, a further GroKo could possibly be possible, but both partners actually do not want that.
A whole series of coalitions are mathematically possible, such as red-green-red, a traffic light made up of the SPD, the Greens and the FDP and an alliance of the CDU / CSU, the Greens and the FDP.
Third triumph with Baerbock, Laschet and Scholz - further TV appearances follow
In addition to TV appearances, there are marketplace speeches and discussion forums almost every day during the election campaign.

Laschet makes - as of September 17th - a little fewer appointments and can be seen and heard in his home region of North Rhine-Westphalia, in Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Bavaria.
On the day of the third TV triall, the Greens and the FDP want to promote themselves again with party conferences in Berlin.
RTL also broadcasts the format “Am Tisch mit ...” on Sunday evening, in which citizens this time ask Laschet questions.
