This is the first time its candidate is running for Chancellor.
Germany’s Green party on Monday named its co-chair Annalena Baerbock as their candidate to succeed Angela Merkel, throwing down the gauntlet to the Chancellor’s conservatives who were locked in increasingly vicious infighting for her crown. “Both of us want the job, but in the end, only one can do it. So today is the moment to say that the Greens’ first Chancellor candidate will be Annalena Baerbock,” said the party’s joint co-chairman Robert Habeck. Ms. Baerbock, 40, is the first Chancellor candidate ever nominated by the Greens.More Related News
