Overview

• Henriette Held and Luis Bobga were chosen as the new federal spokespeople of the Green youth wing at the Leipzig congress.
• Held won 93.6% of votes and Bobga 76.2%, with both delivering speeches that drew strong support from delegates.
• The newly adopted agenda centers on “radical redistribution” and social justice, with leaders pledging to pressure the mother party to move left.
• Tensions with the party leadership were on display as delegates greeted co-chair Felix Banaszak with a banner urging a left turn and chants calling for a shift left.
• Outgoing co-leaders Jette Nietzard and Jakob Blasel stepped down after a tumultuous year marked by controversies and media-reported bullying allegations; Nietzard sought ombud review and, according to Bobga, no formal complaints have reached internal bodies, and both he and Nietzard rejected speculation about a revenge candidacy.
