Julia Kloeckner, candidate for President of the Bundestag, is preparing to discuss her candidacy with members of various factions. However, the Greens have set a condition for inviting her to their presentation round: they want to know whether she'll engage with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) members before the election on Tuesday. The Greens' decision on whether to invite Kloeckner will hinge on her response to this question.

In a letter to CDU politician, Julia Kloeckner, the co-chairs of the Green faction, Katharina Droege and Britta Haesselmann, extend an invitation for Kloeckner to present herself as a candidate to Green members during their faction meeting on Monday. The letter also mentions that the Greens are unsure about Kloeckner's plans to engage with the AfD, given media coverage suggesting such a possibility.
"Misguided Normalization"
Haesselmann and Droege ask Kloeckner for clarification on these reports and express concern that engaging with the AfD could send the wrong message of "normalization" towards a faction that ahs made politics with right-wing extremist and anti-constitutional statements. The co-chairs of the Green faction conclude their letter by stating that the further planning of their faction meeting will depend on Kloeckner's response.
