BERLIN - Germany’s Greens have proposed holding coalition talks in the city state of Bremen with the Social Democrats and far-left Linke, in a reminder to Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives that even if they come first in any elections, they are not guaranteed power.
That scenario has grown more likely after the SPD suffered twin election setbacks in May, prompting their leader to quit. “A Red-Red-Green alliance offers the possibility, with a stable majority, of taking courageous, new steps in the politics of the state of Bremen,” the Greens leadership in the northern city state said in a statement late on Wednesday.
In Bremen, the Greens’ proposal offers the SPD a lifeline to hold on to power after the center-left party failed to win the most votes there for the first time in 73 years last month, narrowly losing to Merkel’s Christian Democratic Union .
