Preparation for the Upcoming Federal Election

The Greens in Schleswig-Holstein are gearing up for the federal election, recently electing prominent candidates including Luise Amtsberg and Konstantin von Notz. Chancellor candidate Habeck emphasizes the importance of green policies, particularly in battery production.

With the upcoming election set for February 23, 2025, the party faces a challenging campaign under new chairperson Felix Banaszak, having welcomed 600 new members. Tensions within the CDU and CSU are rising as they debate potential coalition partners.

CDU leader Merz remains open to collaboration with the Greens, while CSU head Söder firmly rejects it, resulting in public disputes among party members. In Hessia, Greens leader Kathrin Anders has resigned unexpectedly, adding to the uncertainty ahead of the election.

Meanwhile, the Free Democrats are also preparing for their own challenges, as they discuss candidate nominations despite facing low poll numbers. The political landscape is shifting, setting the stage for a competitive election season.
