For the first time, the Greens will nominate a candidate for chancellor. And you have to choose between Robert Habeck (51) and Annalena Baerbock (40).
Now the Green leader is making her claim to power for the first time, saying: I can be Chancellor. To actually get into the Chancellery, the Greens would have to catch up with the Union’s great poll leadership (16 percent) or rely on green-red-red.
BILD am SONNTAG: Congratulations, Mrs. Baerbock, you turned 40 on Tuesday. What did you want?
Annalena Baerbock: “That I can finally hug my parents and friends again.”
Did the Chancellor congratulate you?
Baerbock: “AND.”
And Mr. Söder?
“I’m not done with all the greeting cards yet.”
How are you going to celebrate Christmas?
Baerbock: “I have always celebrated Christmas in a big way all my life, in my hometown with the entire extended family. For the first time, the four of us are celebrating with my husband and our two children in our apartment. It’s difficult especially for my youngest daughter, without grandmother and grandfather. “
Do you go to church at Christmas?
Baerbock: “We usually go to children’s services. But the pandemic is about really reducing contacts. “
How important is faith to you in the days of Corona?
Baerbock: “I’m not a believer, but I’m still in church because the idea of being together is extremely important to me. That’s also the best thing I’ll get away with this year: when the going gets tough, most of the people in our country stand up for each other. “
Now the vaccination begins. Will you get the injection?
Baerbock: “Yes, of course. When it’s my turn. First, caregivers, doctors, the elderly and people with previous illnesses should be vaccinated.”
Skepticism about vaccination is increasing. What is your appeal?
Baerbock: “Everyone who is vaccinated helps keep emergency rooms and intensive care units clear. Vaccinating against Corona is an act of charity. “
In the last week of the Bundestag session, schools and kindergartens were closed again. How did you do that?
Baerbock: “It’s like it happens with many families: the double burden of work and homeschooling hits again, my husband in particular should assume that. This is the fourth time that we cannot let the holidays pass without creating the conditions for a safe reopening. The Christmas closure should serve to equip at least elementary schools with air filters so that children can return to school under pandemic protection from January 10. There is enough money, now we have to approach it pragmatically. The technical assistance organization is ready, the stand builders could help. In the politics of the crown, children must finally have the highest priority. “
When the husband or father hit, Christmas is the most dangerous time for a wife and children. What does that mean in the Christmas bull run?
Baerbock: “It’s certainly not good in some families. Even in the first confinement, cases of domestic violence exploded. It is good that the child and youth welfare service remains open this time and that more emergency hotlines have been changed *. But they all ask us: if the cries of fear come from the neighboring department, have the courage to ring the bell or call the police ”.
Women’s shelters often run out of places.
Baerbock: “Cities and municipalities should rent hostels and youth hostels so that women seeking protection are no longer turned away. Women and children have the right to protection, which must not fail due to tight state budgets. The SPD and the Union must finally introduce this legal claim into the social security code so that poor communities can also provide enough places in women’s shelters. If that doesn’t happen, it has priority for us in a government after the federal elections. “
Speaking of elections: when will you decide who will take over the Greens’ candidacy for chancellor?
Baerbock: “In the spring of 2021”.
Robert Habeck dares to lead the Chancellery. Have you already asked yourself this question? And what is your answer?
Baerbock: “I have confidence in Robert Chancellor, and yes, I have confidence in myself as Chancellor. Therefore, we will decide together what is best for the country and our party. “

Why do you dare to be chancellor?
Baerbock: “The next few years will bring great changes. We have to make our industry climate neutral, we have to tackle social inequality. That’s why we bring the Greens, that’s what Robert brings, that’s why I bring the knowledge, responsibility and passion. “
This is already typical of typical women and men. Robert Habeck says: I have controlled myself, I have the character and the calm for the Chancellery. They say: Greens have the experience …
Baerbock: (laughs) “With the half sentence that I have it too.”
To be chancellor requires even more. Do you have the nerve strength? Can you trade for 18 hours? Are you still sleeping very little? Do you have the mental and physical strength to rise to the post of chancellor?
Baerbock: Yes, you need all of these factors. And trust me: three years as a party leader, member of parliament, and mother of young children is pretty tough. And for everyone currently in the conversation: No one fell from the sky as Chancellor. Everyone should learn in the office. For example, I myself have not had a government office. Like other candidates they would have to learn what I bring with me, such as international experience and European roots.
Union and SPD support the men in the Chancellery. You would be the only female candidate. What does that say about emancipation in the country?
Baerbock: “That we are not yet where we should be in the 21st century when it comes to equality. And that the quota would also do other parties very good. “
Do you really have Markus Söder’s cell phone number?
Baerbock: “I don’t know, I have to look on my cell phone.”
His co-boss Robert Habeck has it. In general, he gets along very well with Söder. We would like to hear from you: What is the biggest difference between blacks and greens?
Baerbock: “Oh dear, when it starts it will take a long time.”
Just the biggest one please.
Baerbock: “Past or future. We are convinced that we can only work well together in the country if we are willing to constantly question and change things to improve them. The Union makes the management of the status quo, which I would rather not change, its main brand. “
You are an expert in foreign and security policy. The SPD has transferred the decision on whether the Heron TP Bundeswehr drone should be armed to the next federal government. Are there drones armed with the Greens?
Baerbock: “Of course we have to protect our soldiers as best we can. But the way the debate and the procurement process in the Ministry of Defense developed, it does not work. The federal government doesn’t even have clear rules for participation. And we see in Somalia, Pakistan or Yemen, for example, how drones are used for executions contrary to international law. We reject the automation of warfare. “
What would change with a green chancellor?
Baerbock: (laughs) “O Chancellor!”
It is hereby added.
Baerbock: “We would do politics with foresight, not just start running when the going gets tough. It starts with the weather, the financial markets, Europe. And health: clinics in rural areas are closing because the financing system is on the list. The knee operation brings a lot of money, fewer deliveries. That has to be different. “
What would you do as Mrs. Merkel?
Baerbock: “Even if the content is different from Ms. Merkel: I really appreciate the way she is, especially the unpretentiousness that didn’t exist before in the Chancellery. However, I go my own way. As rector of copies, no one can shape it. Each time has its color and personality. “
What are the characteristics of a good chancellor?
Baerbock: “You won’t give up …”
Right.
Baerbock: “Stand with both feet in life. Have a broad vision and deep knowledge. Doing politics not only with your head, but also with your heart. The willingness to go back again and again and, at the same time, bravely face great challenges. “
And do you have that?
Baerbock: “All in good time. With due understanding of your interest: this country is in the midst of a pandemic, which we have to address first.”
