BSW boss Wagenknecht: “Habeck’s candidacy shows the green hubris that has deeply divided our country”

BSW federal chairwoman Sahra Wagenknecht has sharply criticized Economics Minister Robert Habeck’s announcement that he will run as the Greens’ candidate for chancellor in the new Bundestag elections. “Robert Habeck’s candidacy for chancellor shows the green hubris that has deeply divided our country and caused massive losses of prosperity to people in just three years,” Wagenknecht told WELT. “Heating dictate, ban on combustion engines, expensive energy, economic crisis, further loss of control in migration – these are the results of the green traffic light. Without Habeck’s consent, Scholz couldn’t remain in the chancellor’s chair until March.”

In Wagenknecht’s view, the end of the traffic light coalition should instead “mark the beginning of unwinding the wrong traffic light policy before new elections.” Wagenknecht expressed doubts that the CDU/CSU parliamentary group would be ready for this: “If the Union stands by what it does If she declared publicly, there would now be a majority in parliament against the heating law, against the ban on combustion engines, and in favor of complete control of migration policy.”

Her party is ready “to reverse the worst traffic light errors before Christmas. But the Union would probably rather not mess things up with the Greens. There will hardly be a Chancellor Habeck after the new election, but unfortunately it is not at all unlikely that the new dream team will be called Merz-Habeck.”

Habeck had previously made his candidacy official. “I am running as a candidate for the Greens – for the people of Germany,” says Habeck in a video addressed to the population. “If you want, even as chancellor. But that’s not mine, that’s your decision. Only you can decide that.”
