Being the media darlings has not prevented the German Greens from collapsing in the public opinion polls. 40% of green voters have taken their approval away since it peaked in popularity at 23%.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A series of unpopular, draconian policy proposals along with cronyism scandals have resulted in a body blow for Green Party popularity in Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accusations of cronyism have surfaced after a top advisor of Green Economics Minister Robert Habeck awarded state contracts to family members and other close associates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secretary for Climate Affairs Dr. Patrick Graichen is accused of having awarded government contracts to a research institute run by multiple members of his family. He also appointed his best man to head the German Energy Agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woes for Graichen may also be compounding as \u201ca suspicion of violations of citation rules\u201d regarding his doctoral thesis has surfaced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today critical site Pleiteticker.de here reports \u201cGerman Greens are in crisis!\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to the Graichen scandal and the dispute between the Socialist-Green government over the heat pump law, the party has recently plummeted in the polls to 14 percent, well behind the hard right AfD (17 percent) \u2013 ten months ago the Greens were still at 23 percent,\u201d reports Pleiteticker. That means the party has lost 40% of its voter base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the result of the most recent INSA survey by \u201cBILD am Sonntag\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMore than half of Germans (56 per cent) say Habeck is doing a bad job, only 25 per cent attest him good work \u2013 in June, 2022, 43 per cent of people still thought Habeck was a good minister. Forty-two per cent even think Habeck is damaging the reputation of the Greens, only 9 per cent think he is helping the party\u2019s reputation,\u201d comments Pleiteticker<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future for the Greens will remain bleak, with no signs of a turnaround in sight. In fact chances are better than even that things are going to get a lot worse as the bills for energy and drastic green policies start coming due.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
