FDP boss Christian Lindner and Robert Habeck from the Greens are likely to become key figures in coalition poker on election evening.
It is quite possible that the SPD draft horse Scholz is not allowed to play along.
A comment by Merkur editor-in-chief Georg Anastasiadis.
Ex-Juso boss Kevin Kühnert calls the FDP chairman Christian Lindner an “Luftikus” and “player”.
SPD chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz should not be very amused by such abuse.
In any case, confidence-building measures to prepare a red-green-yellow traffic light coalition look different.
However, it should only come as a small surprise to Scholz that the SPD left, carefully hidden during the election campaign, does not want him to take the butter off its bread.
Your heart project - and that of the base - remains red-red-green.
Habeck and Lindner recently demonstrated good understanding
Now, depending on your political preferences, you can argue about who the Luftikus is here: the smart Porsche driver Lindner - or the broken-off student Kühnert. What is clear, however, is that the FDP boss has a good hand in the "game" for power that is now beginning in Berlin. And it is striking how unabashed Lindner and the (again) strong man of the Greens, Robert Habeck, recently demonstrated their good understanding in front of the cameras. When the polling stations close at 6 p.m. on Sunday and the result is close, these two are the chancellor makers. It has not yet been decided whether she will choose Scholz after weeks or months of probing. At least outsider chances can calculate Laschet. Lindner has never made a secret of his preference for him and Jamaica.But Habeck could also find a change of the Greens in Laschet's camp advantageous. First, because then the Green Katrin Göring-Eckardt would become Federal President. Second, because in a black-green-yellow Jamaica coalition the Greens would not have to fear losing the newly won bourgeois voters again. And third, because the eco-party, as a junior partner under a Chancellor Scholz, would have to bury its goal of becoming the new left-wing people's party in Germany. The same would apply to Habeck's plan to become Chancellor himself in 2025.because the eco-party as a junior partner under a Chancellor Scholz would have to bury its goal of becoming the new left-wing people's party in Germany.
