Minister Presidents' Conference is a 'Consensus Machine' - Kretschmann Praises MPK as 'Consensus Machine' Amidst Rising Extremism
Baden-Württemberg's Premier, Winfried Kretschmann, has praised the Conference of Minister-Presidents (MPK) as a 'consensus machine', emphasizing the importance of finding common ground amidst increasing extremist pressures.
Kretschmann, who has served as Minister President of Baden-Württemberg since 2011, contrasted the MPK's focus on consensus with the Bundestag's emphasis on individual standout. He believes that both debate and consensus are crucial in governance, but currently, finding common ground is more vital due to extremist pressures from both far right and far left.
He attributes the minister-presidents' skill in finding common ground to their experience in managing regional governments. Kretschmann argues that the MPK's ability to resist extremist pressures and focus on substance in policy-making is essential for Germany's political stability.
