  "account": "Berlin - Sven Giegold, the party's deputy leader, has expressed his intention to become the party's new Secretary General. This was announced by a party spokesperson to the German Press Agency in Berlin. The current Secretary General, Pegah Edalatian, plans to swap with Giegold and seek the position of deputy chairman at the party's December inauguration in Berlin. At the event, the entire six-member federal executive will be up for election. Giegold, who belongs to the left wing of his party, served as a Member of the European Parliament for 12 years, focusing on financial markets and economic policy. Before that, he was State Secretary under Economy Minister Robert Habeck (Greens) from late 2021, overseeing Europe, small and medium-sized enterprises, and economic policy. The party leaders Franziska Brantner and Felix Banaszak have indicated their hope for another term. Likewise, Bundesschatzmeisterin Gesine Märtens and Vice Chair Heiko Knopf intend to continue in their roles.",
