The leaders of Germany's Greens, one of three parties in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's troubled coalition government, announced Wednesday that they will step down after disappointing election results. This marks a significant shift in the party's leadership amid a sharp decline in support, suggesting a need for revitalization. Co-leader Omid Nouripour recognized the situation as the party's deepest crisis in a decade, emphasizing the necessity for a new beginning. His statement reflects a turning point as they seek to regain voter confidence.
Nouripour stated, "The result in Brandenburg is evidence of our party's deepest crisis for a decade. It is necessary and it is possible to overcome this crisis." This acknowledgment of the party's struggles underlines a pressing need for change, as the Greens plan to rejuvenate their approach and leadership.
Ricarda Lang, co-leader alongside Nouripour, indicated that the greens have experienced a notable drop in popularity, stating, "Our party has seen its popularity decline since we took leadership in 2022." This highlights the challenges faced in maintaining support within the coalition government, which has not resonated well with their voter base recently.
