Greens face “worst crisis of the decade”
Mr. Nuripour attributed the leadership’s decision to the disastrous outcome in the Brandenburg electionswhere the Greens were left out of parliament. Something similar happened in early September in Thuringia.
As he stressed, the Greens are facing “the worst crisis of the last decade”.
In the polls, the party is limited to single digits for the first time in seven years.

According to the website “Table.Media”, the possible successors to the leadership are:
- the Vice Minister of Economy Francisca Brattner,
- federal deputy and former head of the party’s youth wing, Felix Banastsak.
