Understanding Germany's Green Party | Berlin Briefing Podcast

Germany's Green Party is campaigning for a second term in government. Their time in power has been controversial, with coalition infighting over climate policy and the economy. How did the Greens go from 1980s peace activists to 2020s military hawks? Why are they so hated by some sections of society? And can chancellor candidate Robert Habeck bring them back into government? DW's Richard Walker, Giulia Saudelli and Ben Knight do a deep dive in this edition of Berlin Briefing.
