Greens in Bremen: Social policy and climate protection in the focus of the realignment
The Greens in Bremen are facing upheaval in the aftermath of the 2023 state election. With only ten MPs left in the Bremen parliament, they achieved a poor result, which prompted parliamentary group leader Henrike Müller to clearly state the challenges ahead. At a meeting in Bad Zwischenahn, however, the group found that despite the difficult situation, team spirit had not suffered and that they wanted to look for a pragmatic approach to current issues. A strong focus is placed on social issues and climate protection, as butenunbinnen.de reports.
“Climate social policy” is the slogan that the Greens in Bremen want to emphasize more in the future. The aim is to combine climate action and social justice. The expansion of cycle paths and the promotion of public transport are at the top of the agenda. It remains to be seen whether these plans will receive a positive response in the various parts of the city. Nevertheless, the Greens are determined to increase visibility in the city and communicate directly with citizens.
Social justice in focus
In the future, the Greens' parliamentary work will be distributed among fewer shoulders, which places special demands on the MPs. Nevertheless, there is an optimistic mood in Bad Zwischenahn, even if Finance Senator Björn Fecker describes the situation as dramatic and points to the economic pressure to save. He in particular is seen as the bearer of unpleasant truths, while Environment Senator Katrin Moosdorf has to contend with a severely curtailed department and is seen as one of the most unknown senators.
Preparing for the future
Considerations about a possible dual leadership for the state election, possibly consisting of Moosdorf and Fecker, have already been discussed. However, both emphasize that they would rather focus on the challenges at the moment than speculate about future candidacies. The next steps must be carefully thought out in order to meet the expanded requirements in Bremen politics.
