Bavarian Minister President Markus Söder has aligned with Friedrich Merz's stance on future coalitions with the Green Party, emphasizing that the current Green policies, particularly on migration, are misguided.

Söder has set conditions for potential coalitions, notably with the SPD, demanding significant changes in migration policy and the citizen's income, which he views as excessive.

He suggests that a coalition with the SPD, minus Olaf Scholz, could be more feasible, as it might better address migration issues.

Söder remains firm in his rejection of a coalition with the Greens, citing their policies as too divergent from the CSU's values.

Despite the challenges, Söder believes a black-red coalition could offer stability and is favored by the public.
