Germany's new parliament has convened with a notable decrease in members, particularly more men, and a surge of far-right AfD representatives. Key figures include Johannes Volkmann, grandson of ex-Chancellor Helmut Kohl, who took up his grandfather's political mantle at a young age. Dario Seifert, the AfD's rising star, won Merkel's previous seat, despite a controversial past. Additionally, Awet Tesfaiesus, the first black woman in the Bundestag, continues to influence discussions on integration and representation in German politics as the legislature adapts to changing demographics and ideologies.
Dario Seifert, who won Angela Merkel's former constituency, emphasizes his political evolution, calling his past with the neo-Nazi NPD a youthful indiscretion.
Awet Tesfaiesus, the first black woman in the Bundestag, represents an important milestone in the integration narrative within German politics.
