Navigating Opposition: The Greens' New Strategy

Franziska Brantner, chairwoman of the Greens, addresses the complexities of transitioning to an opposition role following the recent federal election. At their state council in Berlin, the party is reevaluating strategies after acknowledging campaign shortcomings.

Brantner emphasizes the commitment to modernization and sustainability, despite the challenges of opposition. A structural commission is set to harness the expertise of the party's 170,000 members, focusing on critical issues like climate protection and infrastructure investment.

Additionally, there are plans to enhance presence in eastern Germany to counteract rising right-wing forces. Meanwhile, Felix Banaszak highlights a balanced approach to migration policy, advocating for a realistic framework that prioritizes orderly immigration.

The Greens also assert the necessity of gender parity in government, urging that the next administration include a 50% representation of women. These discussions reflect a proactive stance as the party seeks solutions and innovative pathways forward.
