Germany's political scene is abuzz with discussions about a potential black-green coalition at the federal level.

Katrin Göring-Eckardt, Vice President of the Bundestag, has expressed optimism about such a coalition, citing successful collaborations in several states.

However, the idea faces resistance from CSU leader Markus Söder, who has threatened to veto any coalition with the Greens.

Despite this, some in the CDU, including Friedrich Merz, are open to future cooperation if the Greens adjust their policies.

Meanwhile, Franziska Brantner, a candidate for the Green leadership, advocates for exploring common ground with the CDU, emphasizing the need for unity among democratic parties.

As the 2025 federal elections approach, the debate over potential alliances continues to shape Germany's political discourse.
