Leading German conservative does not see coalition with Greens

BERLIN, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Markus Soeder, premier of Germany's Bavaria state and leader of the CSU party, said he had no hope a government could work with the Greens as projections see his conservative coalition with the CDU as the winner of the general election on Sunday.

Soeder, who already had ruled out a coalition with the Greens before the snap election, pointed to the party's immigration policies, which are at odds with the conservatives' demands for a tougher line.
