Carolin De Marino: Green candidate for justice and change!

Last Sunday, a decisive meeting of the members of Alliance 90/The Greens in constituency 299 took place in the Kardinal-Wendel-Haus in Homburg. Here, 32-year-old high school teacher Carolin De Marino was unanimously elected as a direct candidate for the federal election. This election not only promised a demonstration of the Greens' unity, but also a start to an intensive election campaign, as district chairmen Lisa Becker and Rainer Keller emphasized. De Marino was supported by various district associations, including Saarpfalz and Neunkirchen, and in her introductory speech emphasized the need for targeted investments in the socio-ecological shaping of structural change in the region.

Justice as a guiding principle

In her captivating speech, de Marino presented “justice” as the central theme of her political commitment. Among other things, she called for the abolition of the debt brake and greater taxation of the rich in order to close the gap between rich and poor. “It is unacceptable that the number of billionaires in Germany has risen to a record high while more and more people live in poverty,” De Marino said, underlining the urgency of her political agenda, as she has already done Saarnews reported. She also highlighted the importance of education, feminist issues and a humane migration policy, which not only shape her political beliefs but also have fundamental importance for the future of Saarland.

The meeting was opened by Katrin Lauer, spokeswoman for the Homburg city association, who emphasized the strength and diversity of the green team from Homburg. The call for a “cold, crisp election campaign” and the 100 percent support for De Marino demonstrate the Greens’ motivation to maximize electoral chances in constituency 299. Her vision for a fair, climate-friendly future is seen as forward-looking, and many hope that her candidacy can not only win the trust of voters, but also shine a light on the challenges and opportunities for green politics in the region, such as the Greens Homburg report.
