Greens Gear Up for Election Campaign Amid Leadership Changes

The Greens are poised for a significant transformation as they prepare for the upcoming federal election campaign. With the departure of Ricarda Lang and Omid Nouripour, Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak are favored to take the helm as co-chairs. The party aims to launch a vibrant election campaign focusing on issues like wealth tax, speed limits, and migration policy. Spearheading the campaign efforts, Robert Habeck and Annalena Baerbock highlight the Greens' pivotal role as a guiding force.

As the party convenes on January 26, delegates will finalize the election program under the guidance of Pegah Edalatian. The Green Youth's co-chair, Jette Nietzard, underscores the importance of resisting stricter asylum laws and criticizes CDU leader Friedrich Merz. The party stands united in supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression and addressing threats from China.

The Greens also advocate for a preemptive Bundestag election, emphasizing achievements like renewable energy expansion and minimum wage increases. With nearly 140,000 members, the Greens are ready to confront challenges while maintaining a focus on social justice, economic revitalization, and democratic protection. As Habeck and Baerbock lead the charge, the Greens are determined to reshape the political landscape.
