Brandenburg Greens Secure Financial Aid After Election Exit
The Greens receive a six-figure subsidy to support employees as they dissolve their parliamentary group following electoral defeat.
- The Greens, along with the Left and BVB/Freie Wähler, failed to surpass the 5% threshold in the Brandenburg state election.
- The financial aid aims to cover employee salaries for up to three months as the Greens dissolve their parliamentary group.
- The subsidy decision was made by the Landtag's presidency, despite opposition from the AfD and some critical questions from other parties.
- Greens' politician Clemens Rostock defended the aid, citing the Fraktionsgesetz, which allows for such financial support in these circumstances.
- Unlike the Greens, the Left and BVB/Freie Wähler did not request additional funds, relying on existing reserves and social plans.
