Now, though, as the coalition gets set to kick off, there are a number of indications that the situation is rather different, and that if any party is the odd one out, it may be the Greens. Odd One Out?Īs a result, many in the FDP were concerned that in a three-party coalition, they would be the odd one out. They were widely considered to be natural partners that agreed on pretty much everything except their approach to heavy industry. The two parties have joined forces before to govern Germany, forming the government that immediately preceded Angela Merkel. It was, of course, nothing serious, but the fact that it involved the SPD and the Greens was telling. That sounded like a B+ at least.Īfter that, SPD co-leader Saskia Esken wanted to take the floor, but Habeck, who is likely to become vice chancellor in the new government, cut her off: It’s Annalena Baerbock’s turn, he said, the Green co-chair and likely foreign minister.Ī rather sheepish expression came across Esken’s face and Baerbock began to speak – but the alliance had just produced its first mini-embarrassment. Scholz, Lindner intoned, possesses "internal guardrails" and will be "a strong chancellor." The Greens, too, he insisted, negotiated well. Lindner started off by singing the praises of his negotiating partners, making it sound to some Social Democrats and Greens a bit like the day report cards were handed out at school. And the size of the challenges facing this government are also rather novel. It will likely produce the first female foreign minister ever in postwar Germany. If you ignore the fact that German conservatives are divided into two parties - the Christian Democrats (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU) in Bavaria - this is the first real three-party alliance to lead the federal government since 1957. The political constellation that will soon be taking over power in Germany is unprecedented at the federal level in the country. Strange times indeed.Īnd it doesn’t stop there.

Lindner, it would seem, has developed a new appreciation for the center-left. Earlier, at the press conference where the three parties presented their coalition deal, he quoted Egon Bahr, the former SPD thought leader who was the architect of Chancellor Willy Brandt’s Ostpolitik. Lindner says it was Rau who originally told him the joke.

Who is Lindner quoting with the story? Johannes Rau, the former German president and a highly regarded Social Democrat from the Wuppertal valley.
