The political landscape in Germany is witnessing a heated debate over potential coalitions with the Green Party.

CSU leader Markus Söder has firmly rejected any alliance with the Greens, citing their policies as detrimental to Germany's economic health.

This stance contrasts with some CDU leaders, like Hendrik Wüst and Daniel Günther, who have praised their cooperation with the Greens in regional governments.

Söder argues that a coalition with the Greens would alienate traditional Union voters and hinder necessary policy changes, particularly in asylum policies.

Meanwhile, CDU leader Friedrich Merz has left the door slightly open for future discussions, depending on political developments.

The debate highlights a growing rift within the Union on how to approach potential partnerships with the Greens.
