The Green Party in Germany is facing its biggest crisis in decades after a mass resignation following a defeat in local elections. The party’s leadership stepped down after a crushing loss in Saxony, Thuringia, and Brandenburg, acknowledging the need for new leadership to navigate the crisis.
In a recent election in Brandenburg, the Greens secured only 4% of the vote, falling short of the 5% threshold needed to gain parliamentary seats. This decline in support follows previous losses in the European Parliament election and the failure to win seats in Thuringia. Nationwide polls show a drop in support for the Greens, with voters shifting focus from climate change to issues like immigration and security.
Despite the turmoil within the Green Party, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz assured that the coalition government’s work would not be affected by the leadership changes. The resignations signal a pivotal moment for the Greens as they seek to regain public trust and redefine their political agenda.
