Juliana Meyer Elected to Lead Brandenburg Greens With 55.5%

The vote follows a leadership reshuffle triggered by Annalena Baerbock’s UN role.

Overview

  • Delegates at the Brandenburg Greens’ conference in Fürstenwalde/Spree chose the 38-year-old over Svenja Künstler.
  • The leadership change became necessary after Andrea Lübcke took over Annalena Baerbock’s Bundestag seat following Baerbock’s election as UN General Assembly president.
  • Meyer set priorities on children, youth, education, rural presence and giving voice to underheard groups, with a focus on anti-discrimination.
  • Party officials reported membership rising by about one third to roughly 4,000 since the state election, with women now over 47 percent and finances described as sorted.
  • Federal chair Felix Banaszak said the national party is closely watching Brandenburg and announced a Bundesfinanzrat decision to reallocate funds to rebuild structures in weaker areas.
