Meta Janssen-Kucz withdraws from politics-a farewell to heart!

A shock for Lower Saxony: Meta Janssen-Kucz, the popular state vice president of the Greens, withdraws from state politics in December! The 63-year-old, who has been in this important position since 2017 and had previously been sitting in the state parliament from 1998 to 2008, has announced her decision for "personal reasons". She wants to have more time for her family that she has always supported. A loss for the Greens and the entire state parliament!

The reactions to Janssen-Kucz 'withdrawal are overwhelming. Anne Kura and Detlev Schulz-Hendel, the two parliamentary group leaders, pay respect and appreciate them as a "strong voice for the weaker in the country". SPD parliamentary group leader Grant Hendrik Tonne also says: "With Meta Janssen-Kucz, our state parliament loses a concise voice." They have made their empathy and their unmistakable way of working for environmental and social issues. Her life was shaped by personal fates that made you strong.

Who follows Janssen-Kucz?

The successor of Meta Janssen-Kucz in the state parliament is already under discussion. Tamina Reinecke, a 28-year-old tourism and environmental scientist from Helmstedt, will move into the state parliament. She is currently working as a research assistant for the member of the Bundestag Frank Bsirske. But who will take over the vacant position of the state vice president? Speculations indicate that Evrim Camuz, a MP from Hanover, has a good chance. The experienced domestic politician Nadja Weippert is also acted as a possible successor. The political landscape of Lower Saxony is about to change!
