Cem Özdemir urges German Greens to emulate pragmatic Baden-Württemberg model
Cem Özdemir, the Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg, is urging Germany's Greens to adopt the pragmatic approach of his state party. He argues that Baden-Württemberg is not an exception and that the same strategy can win elections elsewhere. He also credits that pragmatism for an election victory by the state Greens a few months earlier, though this claim is reported by a single source. Separately, in Thuringia, Björn Höcke has suggested that Sahra Wagenknecht could become Minister-President with the support of the far-right AfD.
