Cem Özdemir
The “traffic light” government damaged the image of the party that has dominated Baden-Württemberg; it is necessary to counter the polls.
In March of next year, the elections locations in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
For 14 years, the Minister-President of that State has been from Green Party: Winfried Kretschmann. In the last elections, the Greens won with a large margin (32.6% of the votes).
After three consecutive terms, Winfried Kretschmann will not run again. The bet is Cem Özdemir, who was once a minister in the central government.
As polls is that they are not helping the Green Party: it only appears in the third place (20% of voting intentions), behind the CDU and AfD.
The federal government, the coalition, seriously damaged the party’s image at a national level. Arose a “ghost of the prohibition party”mainly because of the failure of the warming law.
The Green Party is trying to remain at the top at a local level and, to achieve this, the Green candidate is opting for a less green direction.
Fight for electoral victory in a decidedly little ecological, resume o.
Özdemir Tema uncompromising stance against the party at national level, especially with regard to ban on internal combustion engines; an issue that is causing “irritation”.
There is internal advice that the candidate for Baden-Württemberg listens to: you shouldn’t ignore green issues, you shouldn’t underestimate the rise of the Left party, you could lose voters in the cities.
To be successful in the March election, Özdemir needs to mobilize the Green Party base on climate issues.
But the candidate listens…and ignore. You are “brutally” neglecting all this green advice – to gain points with younger voters conservatives, indicates a member of the party’s parliamentary group.
“What we can gain here we run the risk of losing elsewhere”, summarizes Cem Özdemir.
