The green party was not involved in shutting down nuclear energy. That was mainly the CDUs doing. It's really sad that the green party get's blamed for essentially everything although the last time they were in a ruling coalition was from 1998 to 2005 and everything that is bad now was done by the ruling party which was mostly the CDU and at some point the SPD. And the AFD is thankfully no where near of beeing in power.
They way coalition governments here work is that before forming a coalition they agree on a general idea of what to do and what they are absolutely not on-board with and if the coalition government does something that is absolutely against your party you can just exit the coalition basically dissolving the coalition government. Are you saying that in Germany coalition members don't have the ability to stop an action that should go against everything your party should stand for?
Also isn't the AfD the second most popular party currently?
