German Greens grapple with poor election result DW 02/25/2025
Briefly

In the aftermath of the Bundestag elections, the Greens, represented by Robert Habeck and Annalena Baerbock, expressed deep disappointment over their significant drop in support from 14.8% to 11.61%. As they prepare to transition from government to opposition, both leaders exhibited seriousness and concern for their party's future. Habeck indicated a resignation from leadership ambitions within the party, while Baerbock remained silent on her next steps. The likely coalition between CDU/CSU and SPD leaves the Greens sidelined, marking a noteworthy shift in German political dynamics.
"This is not a good result: we wanted more," he told journalists, reflecting the disappointment of the Greens after a decline in support from their previous performance.
Habeck's statement that he would not pursue a prominent party position signals a significant shift for the Green Party, now facing opposition after being in government.
