Emily Büning: Greens rely on solidarity despite election defeats
The future of the Greens: an appeal for solidarity according to the elections
According to the less gratifying results of the state elections in Saxony and Thuringia, the political federal manager of Bündnis 90/Die Grünen, Emily Büning, faces a decisive challenge. In an interview with the television station Phoenix, she expressed her determination not to give up despite the setbacks. "It is now important for us to continue to raise our voice and become stronger again," said Büning. This illustrates the endeavor to find more hearing in the current political landscape and to enter into dialogue across parties with important topics.
The concerns of the population are great in these turbulent times. In Saxony and Thuringia, for example, many citizens think about their future. "People with a migration background, people with disabilities, women who do not want to go back to the stove: They are very worried about how things will go in this country. We are by their side and we are solidarity," emphasizes Büning. This focus on solidarity shows that the Greens see themselves as defenders of those who could suffer from political decisions.
The political arguments in the traffic light coalition have also made the Greens work. According to Büning, the party was repeatedly attacked, which made it difficult to get through its own content. "The CDU sang the song of the anti-democrats and thus strengthened those who despise democracy," she analyzes the current situation. These critical statements indicate that the Greens have to position themselves not only within their party, but also in the larger political context.
Büning sees a great responsibility among the leaders of the CDU, especially with Michael Kretschmer. "He now bears great responsibility for how the CDU will continue to set up and how to ensure security in Germany and Europe in the future," she says. The political responsibility associated with the leadership of such an influential office is increasingly considered to be crucial for the future stability and recovery of the trust of the voters.
The conversation with Büning is an urgent call to your party and society to face these challenges. "We have to talk more clearly and convince more people." This appeal is not only a sign of determination, but also a desire for social cohesion in uncertain times. The Greens face an important task: to represent the voice of those who are currently at risk through the political currents.
