Black-green in NRW: Surprising survey results for the coalition!

Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland - For two and a half years, the CDU and the Greens in North Rhine-Westphalia have ruled in a first black and green coalition and seem to be "noiseless" as nd -aktuell reported. A current survey shows that 41 percent of the respondents would choose the CDU, which corresponds to an increase of almost 6 percent compared to the last state election. The Greens, on the other hand, have to record a decline from 18 to 14 percent, but are still in harmony with the national average. The opposition, namely the SPD, is currently falling behind with 16 percent, while the FDP has reduced to shocking 3 percent. The budget for 2025, recently decided in the Düsseldorf state parliament, offers the actors of the coalition the opportunity to draw an interim balance.

political camps are visible

The political camps in Germany are becoming increasingly clear, as the analysis of Tagesschau . The early new elections were caused by the failure of three parties that could not reach an agreement. The trenches deepen with new election programs, while the Union tries to distance itself from its previous image. CDU boss Friedrich Merz is visible to the FDP, while conversely it is also referred to the fact that the SPD and the Greens continue to pursue different approaches in its tax and refugee policy. While the Union urges immigration restrictions, the SPD and Greens emphasize their humanitarian responsibility.

Despite these differences, according to the latest surveys, there is a realistic opportunity for a black and green alliance at the federal level of the election, which would be considered a novelty. However, in order to enable such a cooperation, both parties would have to leave some of their programmatic sticking points behind quickly, similar to how it could be the case in the case of a possible grand coalition between the SPD and the Union. This suggests that a meeting across party borders could be necessary to form a sustainable government alliance.
