Turmoil Within the Green Youth Movement

The Green Youth, representing around 16,000 members, is facing significant upheaval as its Federal Executive departs from the party. This departure stems from growing disputes over issues such as the Bundeswehr’s special fund, asylum law tightening, and the eviction of Lützerath.

The executive's exit signals a pivot towards establishing a distinctly left-wing youth association, driven by frustrations with the current right-leaning political climate. Green politicians like Dröge, Künast, and Hofreiter have voiced criticism, while former Green Youth leaders Schäfer and Dzienus understand the discontent but not the chosen course of action.

The resignation is also seen as a message to Vice Chancellor Habeck. Following this move, the entire board of Bavaria's Green Youth has also announced their withdrawal.

The national board will continue their duties until the Green Youth Congress in October, with new leadership elections planned for November. This upheaval follows recent electoral failures for the Greens, necessitating a fresh start, according to party chairman Nouripour.

Amidst these developments, a new left-wing movement, 'Time for Something New 2024,' is emerging to address the gaps perceived in the current party system and to counter the rightward shift among younger voters.

After the Green Youth's party resignations: Against despair

Politics
Environment
The Green Youth wants to found a new movement "Time for Something New 2024", since their demands are no longer compatible with the Greens; a new left-wing party as the only hope due to the gap in the party system, the despair of many people, the danger of a shift to the right among younger voters and the current party world with personnel discussions and deportation plans; the establishment of a strong left-wing party is questionable, but the only chance.
