The Greens in Germany are drawing personal conclusions from a series of electoral defeats and are now restructuring the party leadership. The two chairmen Ricarda Lang and Omid Nouripour announced their withdrawal from the party in Berlin on Wednesday.
The Greens had suffered heavy losses in the last four elections (European elections and the regional elections in Saxony, Thuringia and Brandenburg). In Brandenburg they had more than halved their result. The party has left two regional parliaments.
Only in the state of Saxony did they narrowly manage to be represented in the state parliament again. “The election result on Sunday in Brandenburg is a testimony to the deepest crisis our party has faced in a decade,” said Nouripour. “It is not about the fate of one party alone.” It is about the fundamental question of whether in Germany, as “the country with the greatest responsibility in the European Union, it will be possible in the future to continue to make good politics for peace, for Freedom, for justice, for prosperity and for climate protection”.
“It takes new faces to lead the party out of this crisis,” Ms Lang said. “Now is not the time to be stuck to your own chair. Now is the time to take responsibility and we are taking that responsibility by enabling a new start,” she added.
Lang and Nouripour were elected chairmen at the end of January 2022. They are relatively popular in the party. Lang and Nouripour did not comment on their successor.
According to media reports, State Secretary for Economic Affairs Franziska Brantner and Bundestag member Felix Banaszak are in discussion. Brantner is a close confidante of Economics Minister Robert Habeck, who could lead the Greens into the next federal election as their candidate for chancellor.
Banaszak was formerly leader of the Green Party in North Rhine-Westphalia and is an important representative of the left wing. The Green Vice Chancellor and Economics Minister Robert Habeck called the party executive’s announcement a “great service to the party”.
CDU General Secretary Carsten Linnemann called on the government to hold early elections. “Our country will not be able to endure this government for another year!” Linnemann told the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”.
There is no way around new elections. The resignation is a respectable step and the Greens have to fundamentally change their policies, said Linnemann. But how could a party that has become increasingly established in Germany over the last 80 years come to this disastrous point?
Of course, most of the Green Party’s voters are in western Germany and in the big cities. But even there the party faces competition from other left-wing groups. Despite the massive media debate on climate change, which is one of the Greens’ main issues, they suffered such a strong defeat.
Since the AFD (Alternative for Germany) can be seen as the clear winner of all these elections, the question naturally arises as to where the Green voters went. Green voters do not easily vote for a right-wing party. It is therefore very clear that the votes have gone from the political center to the right and the Greens have lost their quota to the center.
But what was the reason for these defeats? Maybe it wasn’t a lack of effort in the election campaign or the constant unprofessional appearances of the Green Foreign Minister. The reason for the problems and possible decline of this party is the increasingly visible distance from its roots. The Green Movement was known for its peace initiatives for decades. And the party has finally moved away from these ideals of peace in recent years.
The harsh words regarding arms deliveries to Ukraine particularly irritated many voters. The Greens used to be against wars and now they are marching at the forefront of escalating forces. Completely absurd political behavior when it comes to migration policy has also led many voters to make a different decision.
When it comes to energy policy, fewer and fewer people trust the Greens. The rise of the AFD and the decline of the Greens show us yet another aspect of German domestic politics. The real political center has clearly shifted to the right and Green voters have moved to the center. Since the consequences of the absurd migration policy and other mistakes will be visible for years to come, this shift from the center to the right will not end any time soon.

your obviously working with the moderators to deceive the readers that the site is defending free speech from neo nasis s and lbgqts. just to be disingenuously deceitful. imo
the moderators here post it to pretend they’re defending free speech. it’s a lie.
why anon defend sodomy by taliban 20 years?
remember, no condoms. annalena likes it bareback……
we germs been licking homer simpson peniz 75 years
i think they’re done. it would be one thing if the greenies knew what they were talking about, but like albore, its a lot of hot air and fat govt. contracts. so, fraud, at taxpayer expense. alternatives hold lots of promise but to run the grid you need steady reliable power.
they know exactly what they want its just that finaly the people who voted for them seem to have understood it. the green plan does not mean having the same nice life like today just carbonfree. the green plan is the wealthy will have the same nice life just carbonfree and the poor wont be able to afford a nice life in the future and become noncomsumers which will then help the environment.
correct. and all of them will slowly migrate to socialist, démocrat and far left parties…..because it’s the same scam. communism is the bottom-top way to globalism. capitalism is the top-bottom way to globalism. they work together. the only way to get out of globalism is nationalism. that’s why nationalism is labelled as evil by all the msm…
don’t be so silly. how are you going to run nationalism? by spinning a bottle or lucky dip?
now you’re being naive they always will want more more more newer bigger better magnificent palaces yachts jets everything for their circle and they will achieve that by deceiving deadbeat into believing in their “sciences”
and they want billions of gullible slaves working hard in exchange for a load of crappy household consumer durables and the luxury of being allowed to go somewhere else, to escape to “paradise” in their sick fantasies as their rewards. so they can but mc donald’s in siberia or kathmandu etc

what is missing in the article: on thursday morning, the entire youth board of the greens resigned and resigned from the party as a whole!
at the moment we are witnessing the decline of a once left-wing, green party, which has degenerated into a tesla-driving lgbtq warmonger clique! – auf nimmer wiedersehen!!!!
what is missing is that since diddy got locked up ceos and politicians are mysteriously resigning all over the place in droves.
there’s tonnes of coal and it’s all a lie and they all know it. tesla, the reaal guy proved beyond any doubt whatsoever that the planet earth functions a generator producing unlimited constant clean safe energy without ant need fir any fuel source whatsoever but irs own positive negative induction coil activities as it spins, a perpetual motion machine in space.
and they just lie about absolutely every single thing on earth everything. they couldn’t tell the truth about anything. not allowed against their law must maximise profits over people every single time.
the trans gender mutant retard phatt phucks have taken krautville down the sewer with them.
are you even of sound mind? only an idiot would believe all that obviously staged theatrical clap trap.
german green party is historically a house of pedos.
…indeed, there were attempts by the west german greens in the 1980s to decriminalize sexual contacts with minors.
fortunately, this party was then (as soon as again) at 5% and these ideas could not be implemented due to a lack of majorities…
it started where satanism was first legalised in spains catholic californian colony they got the ball rolling there in 1966.
globally they just love the little children.

they are intellectually unfit to understand the key issues. therefore they cannot be a serious political party. never were. they have proven to be rabiat warmongers. cheering for the sexual lost, incapable of understanding what society needs. a sad lot.
wakey wakey bob o. grow up war is a human traditional behaviour. it’s nature’s way to constantly cull the homo sapiens that mate all year round rather than seasonally like healthy mammals do.
there was no crisis. people don’t want the idiotic agenda that the wef employees of the greens were pushing.
wrong they screwed the weather up with nuclear atomic testing they’ve stuffed the atmosphere, and yes it was the sun screen, they’ve raised the oceans temperatures and they’ve altered the entire planets natural balance. they’ve messed up and they’re covering up with guilt shifting frauds to blame the people. they re despicable.
the green is irelands colour for st pats. orange for protestants from neverlands. its simple colour coidng signs and symbols not words.
just like the founding father of the greens here was a blatant homosexual and yet we aussies are expected to believe that he was elected as the head boy in his private school college no. aussies would not imo have elected a gay boy, especially not back then when he was in school no way. imo.
we germs liker green taco—my electricity cost triple cuz no nordstream—i stinky cannot pay for hot shower
why is it that people claiming to be the most concerned for the environment all look like they eat as much as ten normal humans?
when i was younger, all the greens and “all the scientists” were saying we were on the verge of a new ice age and you’d have to fight off marauding polar bears and packs of timber wolves every time you went out to post a letter or get a pint of milk. everybody needed to get a dog sled and a team of huskies. they wanted to scatter millions of tons of soot from coal power stations on the polar ice caps to attract a bit more of the sun’s heat to warm things up a bit.
one boondoggle is as good as another.
electric cars are too overpriced,potentally more toxic,insurance beyond feasable yet useless during winters anyway,which is damn well why fossils are here to stay for centuries,greens are just a waste of oxygen thats it!
