With these remarks, the Green Party co-chair distanced himself from former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer, also of the Greens, who had advocated for Europe's nuclear armament in a newspaper interview. While Banaszak acknowledged that it was appropriate for Chancellor Merz to discuss with European partners whether the continent should be defensible in this manner, he insisted such conversations should take place behind closed doors.
