Ahead of the upcoming German elections on February 23, 2025, the Christian Social Union (CSU) stands firm against a coalition with the Greens, while Schleswig-Holstein’s Minister-President Daniel Günther advocates for openness to such partnerships. As the CSU prepares for a strategy meeting, tensions are palpable between party leaders over coalition possibilities. While Günther promotes the success of Schwarz-Grün in his state, CSU leader Markus Söder rejects the idea. Meanwhile, the Greens are keeping the door open for potential collaboration and criticize the CSU’s stance.
