Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - A good two weeks before the state elections, top candidates and party leaders in the southwest come together for a personal exchange of blows.

You are discussing today as guests of the “Stuttgarter Nachrichten” in the Haus der Wirtschaft in Stuttgart.

Despite the corona virus, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann (Greens), Minister of Education Susanne Eisenmann (CDU), SPD parliamentary group leader Andreas Stoch, FDP state chairman Michael Theurer, AfD parliamentary group chairman Bernd Gögel and the state chairman of the Left, Sahra Mirow, want to attend the talk in person appear.

The event will also be broadcast via live stream.

It is one of the few face-to-face events in the election campaign.

Kretschmann has been Prime Minister of Baden-Württemberg since 2011.

He is the first head of government of a German state appointed by the Greens.

In the election on March 14, Kretschmann will be challenged by CDU Education Minister Susanne Eisenmann.

The popular Green Prime Minister has been ruling with the Union as a junior partner for five years.

In the latest polls, the Greens lead the CDU.

The state elections in Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate are the first mood test in the super election year 2021, at the end of which the Bundestag will also be re-elected.
