It received more than 97 percent of the votes: The Greens have confirmed party leader Annalena Baerbock in office.



The Greens have re-elected Annalena Baerbock as party leader. The 38-year-old received at the Federal Party Congress in Bielefeld 97.1 percent of the vote. In another ballot, it is about the question of whether Robert Habeck remains at the party leadership. The re-election of the two was considered safe in advance.

Habeck had on Friday reaffirmed the creative will of his party. The era of Merkel is clearly coming to an end, and a new era begins, he said: "We campaign for the responsibility to make the new time." For the Greens needed "plans that reopen the horizon," which is a policy describe that leads out of the small-Klein out.

Habeck called for a "new investment offensive" for schools, swimming pools, fast internet or public transport. Although a budgetary policy is important and necessary, but "nevertheless, one must consider how the conditions change". It is about an "economic program that ends the war of the economy against nature".

Co-Party leader Baerbock pleaded for an economic policy in the name of climate protection and social justice. It needed an economic policy that "serves the common good and secures the prosperity of our society, without ruining our natural resources," she told the newspapers of the editorial network Germany.

Already decided on the congress was a program against housing shortage. Accordingly, the right to housing should be enshrined in the Basic Law. Also included in the program: billions for social housing, right to home exchange and, if necessary, expropriations. The increase in rents in existing contracts, the Greens want to cover at three percent per year.

On Sunday, economic and climate policy is on the agenda. The Greens demand an entry-level price of 40 euros per tonne of CO2, which goes far beyond the coalition's plans, which provide for ten euros. The executive proposal of the executive committee provides for the citizens to return the income in the form of a citizen's money.
