The Green Party is open to forming coalitions after the 2025 federal election, including with the CDU, as long as there is a respectful and trusting relationship. Disagreements between the SPD, Greens, and FDP on issues such as child basic security, debt brake, and citizen's income exist.
The Vice Chancellor and Federal Minister of Economics, Robert Habeck, warns against reckless playing with new elections, emphasizing that according to the Basic Law, a Bundestag is elected for four years. While Habeck does not confirm if he wants to become the Green's chancellor candidate, Winfried Kretschmann, Minister President of Baden-Württemberg, advocates for the Green's chancellor candidate to have freedom of choice and opposes the idea of co-leaders.
He considers Robert Habeck a talented politician and believes that democracy requires clear leadership. The Ampel coalition, consisting of the SPD, Greens, and FDP, is facing challenges and disagreements on various issues, including the budget, climate protection, transportation, housing, and internal security.
However, new elections are unlikely, and the upcoming elections in the eastern states could bring some dynamics to the political landscape.
