The smallest partner of the tripartite coalition could grow at the next elections. According to the recent mid-December survey, the Greens could shape up despite having overcome difficult times.
The European Elections came as an unprecedented success for the party, securing 19% of the votes. Another milestone included the party securing their 1,000th member. After these waves of success, things started to go downhill for the party. After the heart attack of Deputy Prime Minister Felix Braz and the garden shed affair disrupted the party, party representatives stressed that it was important to let collectedness rule and look ahead. The Greens want to prove that the tripartite coalition still works together on ongoing projects such as the housing situation, the tax reform, and the fight against climate change. Co-president of the Greens Christian Kmiotek stressed that the party had already achieved important goals in climate matters.
He also underlined that the year had been marked by ups and downs, adding that the latest survey had proven that the voters still had faith in them. The Greens had already been tackling contemporary issues like climate change for 30 years, he said. The party, in his view, was well-equipped to find the right answers for the pressing concerns. He referred to the climate and energy plan, which will still be worked on in 2020.
