Traffic light or Jamaica?

The “Maybrit Illner Spezial” round will discuss possible government alliances after the election.

One thing is clear: it won't be easy.

Berlin - In a “Maybrit Illner Spezial” on Sunday evening, the guests will discuss the outcome of the federal election based on projections.

A few hours after the polling stations close, the representatives of the SPD and CDU are particularly keen to put their own results in the best possible light and to claim a government mandate.

For the time being, ex-SPD boss Sigmar Gabriel does not believe in a chancellorship of Armin Laschet (CDU): “At first it doesn't look like it.

But first of all it looks like Olaf Scholz has a good chance of becoming Chancellor.

In the end, majorities in the German Bundestag are necessary.

And these are not just mathematical majorities - political majorities are required.

So parties that come together and develop enough common ground so that they can form a stable government over a period of four years.

And you will see now who can do it in the end.

That’s not quite clear tonight. "

Germany has voted - Malu Dreyer at "Maybrit Illner Spezial": "Want to accept the government mandate"

Connected from Willy-Brandt-Haus, the Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Malu Dreyer (SPD) agrees: “For the second time since 2002 we have become the strongest party again. We are of course very happy about that, we also worked very hard on this question. A big, big victory for Olaf Scholz and for a closed party. In this respect, I strongly assume that we will of course accept this government mandate and that we will then invite to talks and seek to find a stable majority for Germany. "

Dreyer derives a government mandate for the SPD from the vote: “When you see who won this election, it's the SPD, but the Greens are also very clear.

There are progressive majorities, people want change, that is perfectly clear to me.

And if you think about the chancellor question, from my point of view one must not fail to recognize that the majority of the citizens have stated very, very clearly that they do not want to see Armin Laschet in the Chancellery, but Olaf Scholz.

And on this we have to work together with the forces for whom a coalition is conceivable - and that is definitely the traffic light and there will have to be such talks in the future. "

Who will be the Federal Chancellor?

The “Maybrit Illner Spezial” group is looking forward to the coalition talks

The politician Norbert Röttgen (CDU) makes no secret of his disappointment with the result: “We have achieved a result as a party with which we are absolutely not satisfied. That is not acceptable and that also brings with it a question of responsibility, namely: People's Party CDU. There is a clear work order there. Our social anchorage is not the way we can accept it if we want to remain a people's party. That is a very clear mandate. ”Because the CDU / CSU and SPD are looking at a similar result, the chancellor question is completely open, says Röttgen:“ That is why it is not a question of people, but a question of whether parties can agree on the questions that Sigmar Gabriel correctly addressed. "

"As of now, the SPD is about one percent ahead," says Röttgen and notes: "There are a few seats, so it is slightly ahead - that is included in the evaluation.

That is perfectly clear, we respect that.

But politically it's basically a tie. ”“ But you've lost a lot, ”interjects journalist Anja Maier.

Röttgen admits: “I won't gloss over anything, no question.

Eight percent.

I could paint it for you in areas of society, in cities, in constituencies, absolutely clearly.

But it is now about government majorities that need a substantive basis.

And not the development, who comes from where, otherwise what. "

Because the Greens and the FDP have already agreed to hold joint talks in order to subsequently sound out whether the SPD or CDU / CSU would be better suited to the appointments, says journalist Robin Alexander: “If they are smart, they will do it . Otherwise they would end up in a bidding competition and that would not be good. "The FDP politician Alexander Graf Lambsdorff agrees:" What Robin Alexander has just said is also clear. It is absolutely right that we plan to talk to the Greens first. Because these are the two parties that have not been voted out, that both have won. "

Author and Green member Marina Weisband is only partially satisfied with the election result, but looks to the future: “Now it is important to go into these negotiations with all the tailwind that we have received and to implement the goals that are now simply necessary are. And I agree with Mr. Röttgen: Foreign policy will play a huge role here, investments in infrastructure, education and digitization will play a huge role - and with the FDP, for example, I definitely see room for maneuver. ”Sigmar Gabriel sees this question the Greens the longest leverage, after all, after 2017, the FDP could not afford to turn down government responsibility again, the former Foreign Minister says: "The Greens are the kingmakers."

Bundestag elections for “Maybrit Illner Spezial”: traffic light or Jamaica coalition for Germany?

Alexander Graf Lambsdorff rejects Gabriel's one-sided interpretation: “When people talk about the Greens holding the lever here - we have it together, the Greens and the Free Democrats.

The greens are now at 13.9 and we are at 11.7.

That’s a two percentage point difference.

Together we are the ones who will talk to each other, with whom we will enter into which conversations. "

If a consensus has been found in these talks, the joint search for a partner is pending, the FDP man continues: "And then we will see what Armin Laschet and what Olaf Scholz offer." Weisband and Graf Lambsdorff also deliver an outlook on the upcoming difficulties of the talks between the Greens and the FDP.

First of all, Weisband says: “We cannot do green climate policy and FDP economic policy because they don't go together.

Because that is contradicting itself. ”Count Lambsdorff replies that this is still ongoing election rhetoric:“ When you talk about climate policy, then it cannot just be Green approaches.

And it can't be the only topic of the new federal government. "

“Maybrit Illner Spezial” - the conclusion of the show

At the “Maybrit Illner Spezial” on election Sunday, the position of power of the Greens and the FDP becomes clear: If the two parties can agree on a common course, they must then decide on the SPD or the CDU as coalition partners.

The journalist Robin Alexander sums up the situation pointedly: “There is a red-green camp and there is a black-yellow camp.

And neither of them have the majority this time.

That means: someone always has to come across.

And the damage to it is: Whoever comes across will be able to call a high price for it. "
