After the federal party conference at the weekend, there was a certain sense of relief among the base of the Bavarian Greens, especially when it came to the rejected demands of the Green Youth. A mood picture from the Free State.
It has now been seven weeks since the state elections. 14.4 percent for the Greens, minus 3.2 points. The party is currently having to fight everywhere in the republic, which is why the federal party conference at the weekend in Karlsruhe was a crisis party conference. The Greens are now making concessions in migration policy – against the will of the party’s youth. Can this help to win back voters that the Greens have lost, especially in rural areas? Or is there a need for further substantive reforms and more pragmatism overall? A picture of the mood at the party base in Bavaria.
