Bundespolitik: Grünen-Chefs Brantner und Banaszak streben wohl zweite Amtszeit an
Franziska Brantner und Felix Banaszak wollen sich im Dezember erneut um den Parteivorsitz bewerben. In Umfragen hat die Partei nach den Verlusten bei der vergangenen Wahl wieder zugelegt.
Berlin - The top duo of the Green party, Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak, are aiming to run for a second term at the party's mid-December summit. This would be their second stint as party leaders. The "Süddeutsche Zeitung" reported on Sunday that Banaszak sent an email to supporters stating, "I am again running as your party chairman, to present our party to you all for the next Bundestag election."
Brantner wrote that she and Banaszak are jointly seeking the party's chairmanship. According to the ZDF Politbarometer, which is based on a poll by the Research Group for Elections, the Greens are currently the third-largest political force in Germany, with 14 percent support if a Bundestag election were held next Sunday. The Alternative for Germany (AfD) leads with 28 percent, followed by the Christian Democratic Union/Christian Socialist Union (CDU/CSU) at 21 percent.
Behind the Greens are the Social Democratic Party (SPD) at 13 percent and the Left Party at 12 percent. During the 2025 Bundestag election, the Greens achieved 11.6 percent, significantly less than in 2021 due to their involvement in the previous "Ampel" government.
