Germany’s Greens party says the televised debate between Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his conservative rival Friedrich Merz focused too much on migration policy, ignoring climate change as a central issue of survival for future generations. Co-leader Felix Banaszak criticized the candidates for failing to address education, childcare, and climate protection during their 90-minute debate. The party’s co-leader said extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, but neither candidate showed interest in debating the topic. Scholz and Merz will face off again on Sunday against Robert Habeck from the Greens and Alice Weidel from the far-right Alternative for Germany in a four-way debate.
