At their recent party convention in Berlin, Germany's Green Party sharpened its focus on climate action and democracy.
Chancellor candidate Robert Habeck criticized the CDU/CSU for its perceived drift towards right-wing populism, urging a course correction.
The party's new election program emphasizes stricter climate goals, including a return to sector-specific targets and a gradual phase-out of gas usage.
However, internal debates revealed divisions, with some members pushing for faster timelines.
The Greens also proposed a 10% tax incentive for green investments, though broader economic concerns were less emphasized.
With polls placing them fourth, the Greens aim to position themselves as champions of both environmental and democratic resilience.
