Miesbach/district - The Miesbach district association of the Greens met at the Bräuwirt in Miesbach for the traditional New Year's meeting.
In addition to looking back on the past year, the program also included honoring deserving members.
Among the around 70 participants were the new deputy parliamentary group leader of the state parliament Greens Johannes Becher, Bundestag member Karl Bär and the support representatives for the district Benjamin Adjei and Andreas Voßeler.
“In the municipalities you change the world, not the big one, but the small one.
And over time, small advances also change the big world,” says Johannes Becher with certainty.
The message from the deputy parliamentary group leader of the state parliamentary Greens was clear: all those who stand up for it strengthen democracy.
In civil society, but also and especially in the city and local councils.
Against too much bureaucracy, for more daycare places
The Greens therefore want to “prove locally that they can do it, want to regain trust in the Munich area and be even more strongly represented in the communities and districts from 2026,” explains the district association.
The Greens want to work stubbornly to achieve climate neutrality and reduce bureaucracy.
For the latter, individual regulations would actually have to be deleted.
The district Greens explain that Bavaria is currently moving in the wrong direction.
It is also important to look at families: “Many people, especially women, cannot work as much as they would like because there are no childcare places.
“This is not only a loss for the individual family, but also for society and the economy,” explain the Greens.
The Greens believe that the money “that is currently being distributed to all families in a watering can in Bavaria” is better placed within the system.
It is sorely needed there, confirms Johannes Becher, himself a member of the state parliament's children's committee.
Bär reports on a speech at the farmers' demonstration in Munich
Bundestag member Karl Bär reported on his experience at the farmers' demonstration at Munich's Odeonsplatz.
He spoke there at the invitation of the farmers' association, but was met with boos and whistles.
“It wasn’t an event subject to entertainment tax, but I would go there again,” summed up Bär, earning applause.
“We Greens are under fire because we are facing the protesters everywhere in the republic.
“That’s a good thing because it allows us to defend democracy and literally talk to each other,” said Bär, encouraging his party colleagues for the upcoming elections in several federal states in June.
He also called for people to keep an eye on the European elections scheduled for June 9th.
Ultimately, important decisions are made in Brussels that will also have an impact in Germany.
Bär emphasized, especially when it comes to agriculture.
