Weber Advocates for Pragmatic Coalition Strategies
Manfred Weber, the Vice President of CSU and leader of the Conservative EPP Group in the European Parliament, has emphasized the importance of keeping the Black-Green coalition option open. He has criticized the Greens for failing to acknowledge the complexities surrounding migration, advocating instead for a balanced migration policy from CDU/CSU.
Notably, he recognizes Winfried Kretschmann, a Green politician in Baden-Württemberg, as embodying a realistic approach to this issue. Despite CSU leader Markus Söder's rejection of coalitions with the Greens, Weber insists that democratic dialogue is essential.
He argues that while illegal migration must be firmly opposed, Germany should offer refuge to those fleeing from war and oppressive regimes, particularly in light of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. Weber sees the potential for a Black-Green alliance at the federal level, despite differing views within the party.
He urges the Greens to choose between remaining a centrist party or drifting towards ideological extremes. This call for pragmatism comes as coalition negotiations among various parties face early challenges, particularly with SPD leader Maier critiquing proposals from CDU and BSW regarding the handling of COVID-19 and the Ukraine crisis.
As discussions evolve, Weber’s perspective on migration and coalition flexibility may play a pivotal role in shaping future alliances.
