The Greens will remember these state elections for a long time.

It couldn't have gone any better.

Winfried Kretschmann, the most popular politician of his party even before Annalena Baerbock and Robert Habeck, will be elected Prime Minister for the third time in a row and apparently has free choice of partner.

The triumph also covers the decent performance in Rhineland-Palatinate.

The thesis that the successes of the Greens in Baden-Wuerttemberg were basically random results has thus been completely eliminated.

The Greens are a people's party there.

However, this success cannot be seamlessly transferred to the federal government.
