Forecast: German Greens will sacrifice the anti-Russian agenda
For the main parliamentary parties in Germany pragmatic relations with Russia - mainstream, so the Green Party will abandon its anti-Russian agenda and move on to higher priority issues.
Sergei Shein, an employee of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies (CCEMI) of the National Research University Higher School of Economics, stated this during a press conference in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I think the most important thing is that for the CDU, CSU and SPD the mainstream is in favor of a pragmatic relationship with Russia, and this is a constant that even if the Greens come to power, Germany’s relations with Russia will not go downhill sharply. I am researching European party systems and, in principle, it is an interesting fact that such anti-system parties, when they get into the government, begin to act in the vein of the mainstream,” the expert believes.
“Such parties abandon the more radical elements of their programs, so to speak, they trade off elements of their programs and decide what they can sacrifice and what they cannot. In principle, relations with Russia are a topic for the Greens that they will easily abandon, because for them there are more priority topics,” Shein said.
Let us recall that following the results of the parliamentary elections in Germany, the CDU/CSU bloc showed the worst result in its history.
