Leon Eckert (Greens) trembles about his entry into the Bundestag.
It wasn't enough for another secret favorite.
Freising - Many politicians spoke of a long election night on Sunday evening, but the sentence applied particularly well to a Bundestag candidate in the Freising district: Leon Eckert from the Greens.
“I don't expect a sure result for myself until around 1 or 2 in the morning,” he told the FT when the 25-year-old left the district office at around 9 p.m. on the way to his election party at Et Cetera.
According to the current status of the election results at the time, Eckert would have had something to celebrate because it would have been enough for him to enter parliament on the list.
"But I can't freeze the results now, and that's why it remains uncomfortably exciting," said Eckert, who got 12.5 percent of the first votes.
"I am of good cheer."
Eckert assesses the results of the Bundestag with mixed feelings
He also assessed the national result of the Greens with mixed feelings.
"On the one hand, it is the Greens' best election result of all time," said Eckert.
“But there could have been more votes because we already had other values.
There cannot be enough votes for the climate. "
Noteworthy: The Echinger admitted that, according to statements by scientists, even the Greens' program would not be enough to achieve the 1.5-degree target aimed at in the fight against climate change.
“But we're the closest.
However, I fear that as a junior partner we will not be able to enforce everything. "
The secret favorite cannot ignore Irlstorfer
Olaf Scholz or Armin Laschet: Both candidates for chancellor are courting the Greens.
Who would Eckert choose?
"People want the change, and the Greens should help shape it."
Quite a few had believed Karl Ecker (Free Voters) to derive the direct mandate for the Bundestag from Erich Irlstorfer (CSU).
Nothing came of it.
"I am a realist and therefore I knew that it would be difficult," said the former mayor of Au.
In the end it was “only” enough for 12.0 percent.
But he is satisfied with the “nice growth” in first votes that he achieved for the FW compared to the last federal election (6.41 percent).

Ecker: "That would have been painful"
He is also happy that he achieved the best result of all direct candidates in his home community with 40 percent.
“If I hadn't won at home, it would have been painful.” It's not enough for the parliamentary entry on the list.
The FW broke the five percent hurdle, and Ecker had no hope of the second option of coming to Berlin via three direct mandates won.
He said with a wink.
“If I don't make it.
