A sort ofIn the beginning, everything seemed to be harmonious. The three prime minister candidates met for a TV audition one month before the federal election, and almost two hours were scheduled. RTL moderators want green candidates Annalena Balbok, Social Democratic candidate Olaf Schultz and CDU prime minister candidate Amin Rashet know why other people “cannot become prime ministers.” As if they had agreed, all three waved. That’s a bad style. You would rather promote what you can do.
But when individual topics were brought up, harmony soon ended.When talking about the rapid withdrawal of Afghanistan and the international community, Raschelt attacked the deputy prime minister by taking advantage of the fact that as the prime minister of North Rhine-Westphalia he did not belong to the federal government. Schultz Therefore, coordination between the various federal ministries does not work. Laschet also accused Scholz of delaying the decision to armed drones. Schultz retorted that under the leadership of the black and yellow government, the Bundeswehr’s financial situation has developed particularly badly, but it has risen during his tenure as finance minister. Baerbock talked about the sensitive issues of local workers in Afghanistan. She recalled that in June the union and the Social Democratic Party did not vote for the Green Party’s proposal to make it easier for local employees to leave and enter Germany. As far as she is concerned, Balbok launched the attack because the Green Party approved the extension of the Bundeswehr’s authorization to Afghanistan in March with only one-third of the members of the Bundestag. She announced that as prime minister, she hopes Make sure that the authorization is written in this way, and it will not happen again in Afghanistan now.
Everyone wants climate protection, no one wants to burden citizens
In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the relationship between the three is relatively close. There have been some disputes over the financing and installation of school air filters, but the candidate and the two candidates opposed the blockade again in a different way. Entering the final stage of the campaign with the opposite message may be too much for all three.
Belbok, Schultz and Raschelt There have been many in the election campaign. Even three, such as in WDR, Munich Security Conference and DGB. However, at 8:15 on Sunday evening, the three major television shows during prime time were retained for a maximum of four weeks before the election. Many people in the coalition are now very insecure because their prime ministerial candidates have so low votes in the polls, and the party is getting sluggish, and some people are relying on Triel.
Controversy arose in the discussion about climate policy. The green candidate accused the government of providing too little funding for the expansion of the solar power system. Rushett pointed out that the expansion of power lines from north to south is not enough. Belbok explained what she will do immediately as Prime Minister. This includes stipulating that 2% of Germany’s area can be used to produce wind energy. The requirements for solar energy systems in new buildings should also be introduced.
At the same time, the three candidates are very cautious to avoid creating the impression that a climate-neutral path will impose an additional burden on citizens. In any case, additional costs, such as fuel costs, will be refunded. Even the Green Party candidates dare not make a clear promise that climate policy may cost voters.
Finally, of course, it must be about the possibility of forming alliances.The point of contention is whether Social Democratic Party If the worst happens, the Green Party will rule with the Left Party. Raschelt tried to urge Schultz to rule out alliances with the left-wing party. Formally, the vice-principal expressed his views on this clarity, but by commenting on the foreign policy stance of the left, he actually ruled out the possibility of an alliance. Balbok said that as long as the left’s position on foreign policy does not change, the alliance is impossible.
