Partei: Grüne sortieren im Hintergrund ihren Vorstand neu – Ex Habeck-Vertreter will Generalsekretär werden
Der gesamte Grünen-Vorstand muss sich erneut zur Wahl stellen. Sven Giegold soll neuer Generalsekretär werden. Kommt es zu Kampfkandidaturen?
In Berlin, Sven Giegold aspires to become the next General Secretary of the Green Party. He plans to put himself forward at the party's December election and currently has the best chance of being elected. No counter-candidates have emerged so far. Giegold's ambition is to transform the Greens into the "leading force of the left-center," he told the Handelsblatt. "We need to become so strong that without us, no democratic government can be formed in 2029," he added.
Giegold currently serves as one of the two Vice Chairmen on the Green Party's federal board. Prior to that, he was State Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Economics under Robert Habeck (Green). Giegold had a twelve-year tenure as a member of the European Parliament and is a co-founder of the non-governmental organization Attac.
The Greens will elect the entire new board at their party meeting in Berlin. Alternatives to Giegold are likely not available, but discussions are ongoing for other positions in the Green Party's leadership.
