With their “government program”, the Greens are shifting the focus of the election campaign back to Bavaria and away from the ongoing traffic light criticism towards Berlin. That’s good and right. However, they have to convincingly explain their plans for the pace of the energy transition – otherwise there will be no government.
The Greens want to bring the state election campaign back to Bavaria. That is the core message of the party congress in Erlangen. This is good news for the people of Bavaria, because so far the election campaign has been characterized primarily by the fact that Markus Söder and his CSU complain about the Greens in the federal government, which also offer some reason for this. But the Bavarian voters want to know what the parties are planning in the next five years in Bavaria – and not be constantly bothered with proxy skirmishes.
