BERLIN (Reuters) - Berlin mayor Klaus Wowereit said on Thursday he was confident he could put a stop to the surge of the Germany's Greens party and win a third term leading the country's biggest city-state in a September election.
The Greens have surged to record highs in opinion polls in the last year, boosted in part by the nuclear disaster in Japan, and rocked the political landscape by snatching control of the country's wealthiest state, Baden-Wuerttemberg, from Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU party in a March election.
