Gianna Niewel, Wetzlar
Joschka Fischer, the first Green Minister in Hesse, was sworn in in sneakers in 1985, and Tarek Al-Wazir, who would be the first Green Prime Minister of the state, is also to be sworn in in sneakers. And because the party doesn’t want to leave anything to chance, he got a pair of sneakers at the party conference on Saturday. Al-Wazir beamed, the members clapped. Seven months until the state election? Here we go.
