Green dual leadership meets Merz: Political meeting in the Ruhr area!

In an exciting new political move, the Greens are planning a meeting with Friedrich Merz, the Union chancellor candidate, to take place before Christmas. Banaszak and co-chairwoman Franziska Brantner, who were elected to dual leadership in mid-November, are optimistic. According to the editorial network Germany, the two Green politicians could benefit from joint support for Ukraine with Merz. When asked whether Merz and Banaszak had ever had a beer together, Banaszak said that this had not been the case so far. However, he warmly invites Merz to his local bar in Duisburg to “take something from life in the Ruhr area with him for his political work,” as on faz.net is reported.

Franziska Brantner also has clear views on Ukraine policy and sees Merz as a better partner than Chancellor Olaf Scholz. She praises his stance and emphasizes that Merz advocates greater support for Ukraine, which is of great importance in the current political situation, as in Mirror is to be read. These developments leave a remarkable impression, especially in view of the difficult political decisions that lie ahead in the current legislative period.
