Berlin Greens choose Lisa Paus as the top candidate for election campaign!

On December 14, 2024, the Berlin Greens, at a crucial assembly of delegates in Berlin-Moabit, was again at the top of the state list. Paus received 107 out of 140 votes, which corresponds to an approval of around 76 percent - a significant decline compared to the almost 98 percent that she received in the last election. Despite the sobering result, she emphasizes that she was satisfied with the team that was chosen. The list is supplemented by Andreas Audetrsch, who received almost 89 percent of the vote, and Nina Stahr, who received 83 percent. The latter also strives for a return to parliament after it has not been part of the Bundestag since the choice of repetition in spring. This reported, among other things, stern.de .

A remarkable retreat occurred when Stefan Gelbhaar, who had previously been considered a traffic expert, withdrew his candidacy and is thus exposed to allegations of sexual harassment. These allegations described by party circles as "in the low double -digit range" caused unrest within the party. Gelbhaar explained that the matter had to be clarified internally. The Federal Green's ombudsman was switched on to take care of such symptoms. The situation around yellow hair and the upcoming elections show the challenges in front of which the Berlin Greens are facing. As rbb24 , the Greens have to clarify many questions, while the Bundestag election campaign is ongoing.

In this turbulent moment, the long -time member of the Bundestag and former Federal Minister Renate Künast also left active politics by not registering her candidacy again. Künast, who dealt with diverse political issues, said she did her day. Her decision illustrates the change within the party, which mixes with the nomination of young leaders and the upcoming election campaign. Trust in the party leadership is on the test while the Greens are preparing for the upcoming challenges.
