Stuttgart (AP) - Baden-Württemberg's Minister of Social Affairs Manne Lucha (Greens) sees the foreseeable good performance of the Greens in the Baden-Württemberg state elections as confirmation of his party's work.

"We are by far the strongest group and have been confirmed," he said on Sunday evening in a first reaction.

The result should also be seen against the background of the stress on people caused by the corona pandemic.

"There are points that don't make everyone happy, including me."

According to initial projections, Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann's Greens are likely to be the strongest force in Baden-Württemberg, just like in 2016.

Your coalition partner CDU, on the other hand, suffered significant losses.
