Traffic light coalition is getting closer and closer after the federal election in 2021
+++ 2.25 p.m.:
Green parliamentary group leader Anton Hofreiter considers a coalition with the SPD and FDP to be more likely than an alliance with the Union and the Liberals. "We will of course talk to all democratic parties," said Hofreiter on Tuesday in Berlin before a meeting of the Green parliamentary group with old and new MPs. But it is more likely that “there will be a traffic light in the end”.
"With this large group we want to lead this country into a better future," said Hofreiter.
The new Greens group has 118 members.
That is 51 more than in the previous legislative period.
Compared to the 2017 federal election, the eco party was able to significantly improve its result.
In the past 16 years - during the reign of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) there has been a lot of reform backlog in Germany, said Hofreiter, who cited deficiencies in digitization as an example.
"We really have to get a modern, functioning state."

His party wants to participate in a government that is “not a government of the lowest common denominator”.
In the current week, the Greens and the FDP want to talk to each other.
The SPD also wants to talk to representatives from both parties.
There are similarities with the FDP, for example, on the subject of civil rights, said Hofreiter.
Co-parliamentary group leader Katrin Göring-Eckardt said that something new could be created from joint approaches.
Hofreiter explained: “You can also soberly state that the time of the big popular parties is over.
And the person who becomes chancellor is not elected by almost 75 percent of the electorate. "The dynamic is therefore very different from that in the current government and it is wise if not only" the not-so-great partners " talk to each other.

At her first meeting after the election, she followed a proposal by the two parliamentary group leaders, Antje Kapek and Silke Gebel, to temporarily name Jarasch as parliamentary group chairman until a possible government was formed.

"We are negotiating a government that will bring Germany on the 1.5-degree path," said the former environment minister and parliamentary group leader in the Bundestag, Der Spiegel.
Then it will be decided who gets which post.
"That decides the party and not just two people in personal conversations."
Trittin criticized the Greens chairmen Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck.
On Monday afternoon, when asked who will take over the post of Vice Chancellor in the event of government participation, Habeck said: "Assume that we are completely sorted."

Although the two party leaders ran as the top duo in the federal election, Baerbock had a prominent role as candidate for chancellor.
Although the Greens achieved their best result in a federal election, they fell short of their expectations with 14.8 percent.
In the polls in the months leading up to the election, they had been significantly better.

First report:
Berlin - In the party headquarters of the Greens there were mixed feelings after the federal election on Sunday evening.
Although the party had increased by 5.8 percentage points to 14.8 percent compared to the last general election, it was still well below expectations and survey results.
But it seems almost certain that the party around Chancellor candidate Annalena Baerbock will belong to the future federal government.
Together with the FDP, the Greens will in all likelihood be the two small partners in a coalition.
The only question is with which Chancellor.
Because the choice is a traffic light with the election winner SPD and a Chancellor Olaf Scholz *.
Or a Jamaica alliance with the Union and a CDU * Chancellor Armin Laschet *.
Starting at 2:15 p.m., Green Top candidate Annalena Baerbock and her co-chairman Robert Habeck will comment on the results of the federal election and possible coalitions in a press conference.
Bundestag election 2021: Greens want to set the course for the future
According to Baerbock, the future government coalition is about setting the course for the future, according to the top candidate on Sunday evening in the “Berlin Round” of ARD and ZDF. The next federal government must set the course for Germany to become climate neutral in the next two decades, said Baerbock. And then you have to talk to all actors: "It's not about the lowest common denominator, but it is really now at this historical moment ... to set the course for the future."
The Greens were elected by a large number of young people.
It is also about intergenerational equity.
The future alliance * must now set all the guard rails so that Germany not only goes the path of climate neutrality, but also ensures that the country's prosperity is secured, said Baerbock.
Together with Robert Habeck *, she will discuss how this great responsibility can be met.
Olaf Scholz (SPD) has a "clear leap of faith" from the Greens
Habeck said that the FDP * would be approached first. It must now be possible to forge an alliance "with its own identity" and "not just the sum of no's and no's and no compromises," said the party leader of the Greens with a view to a possible traffic light or Jamaica coalition *. Habeck also emphasized that Olaf Scholz had received a “clear leap of faith” from the voters and that the SPD * would be “well ahead of the Union”. A traffic light coalition is therefore not a sure-fire success.
Greens managing director Michael Kellner also sees Olaf Scholz as the clear winner of the election.
“The voters wanted Olaf Scholz, Armin Laschet has weak values,” the 44-year-old told dpa.
"We are now closer to an SPD than to the Union," continued Kellner.
The Greens are still ready to hold talks with all democratic parties.
