And Özdemir believes that the CDU, which is already beginning to criminalize young people in advance of demonstrations and threatening them with brutal violence, is a much better governing partner than the Left Party in Berlin. (translated)
The exclusion of Berlin and Saxony-Anhalt from the state financial equalization would hardly be compatible with the Basic Law. Equating democratic leftists with extremists is the old horseshoe narrative of the right. Özdemir's approval of Söder's proposal stems from his desire to finally be part of the Union. (translated)
That the Green Özdemir governs Baden-Württemberg like a deep black CDU member: that's given, the people there want it that way. But that he supports Söder's unconstitutional nonsense and thereby promotes the blatant right-wing populism in Germany is a whole different category. (translated)

Özdemir continues to warn about Red-Red-Green in Berlin between Palmer and Palantir.

"If we fail to demonstrate by the next federal elections that our economy can grow sustainably again, if we fail to show by the next federal elections that our social security systems have been reformed in a future-proof and sustainable manner, then we will have no chance in the next federal elections."

Dr. Christoph Canne wrote that deindustrialization is nowhere more evident than in Baden-Württemberg. When he completed his studies in Saarland, the federal state was a preferred destination for graduates in STEM fields; that time is over, and the decline has been significant. He noted that the continued support of 30 percent for the Greens can no longer be explained rationally. He asked whether this is related to Cem Özdemir's popularity as a potential son-in-law and referred to the party derogatorily as a driving force behind deindustrialization. #Deindustrialisierung #BadenWürttemberg #MINTBerufe (translated)
