Habeck becomes a candidate for chancellor: the Greens set at a fresh start!

Wiesbaden, Deutschland - The Greens are faced with a dramatic change! Robert Habeck is named the new Chancellor candidate just three months before the federal election. The party congress in Wiesbaden becomes the stage for his return after he had Annalena Baerbock ahead in April 2021. "The most painful day of my political career," said Habeck back then. But now he is ready to take the reins back in hand!

On Sunday, Habeck is officially presented as a "candidate for people in Germany" while Baerbock is supposed to support him. The tension is tangible, even if Habeck is the favorite. However, the survey values ​​of the Greens are modest eleven to twelve percent, which underlines the urgency of his appearance. The party wants to free itself from the burden of the past traffic light coalition and dare to start again.

New federal executive - fresh wind for the Greens

Another important step: The entire federal board is newly elected. Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak should form the new double tip. Brantner, a close confidante of Habeck, and Banaszak, who is considered the left, should jointly appeal to voters from the bourgeois center and at the same time secure the backing in the left party wing. The Greens want to leave back to their roots as a climate party and the mistakes of the past.

The farewell of Omid Nouripour and Ricarda Lang marks the end of an era that was characterized by devastating election results. The new leadership aims to get the Greens back on course and to regain the voting favor, which was still almost 30 percent in 2021. Robert Habeck now has the chance to realize his visions and lead the party into a new era!
