Henriette Held and Luis Bobga form new leadership duo of Green Youth - Green Youth Elects New Leaders Bobga and Held to Refocus Party Agenda
The Green Youth, the youth wing of the German Green Party, has elected two new leaders, Luis Bobga and Henriette Held. Bobga, who has criticized the party's shift away from grassroots and social security issues, aims to refocus the party's agenda. Held, a law student, emphasizes the connection between climate crisis and social justice.
Bobga, elected federal spokesperson at the Leipzig congress, has long been critical of the Greens' move away from its grassroots. He wants to reinvigorate the party's focus on social issues, anti-racism, and the perspectives of young and marginalized people. His views align with those of Jakob Bobga, who studies migration research and emphasizes human rights and solidarity.
Henriette Held, who previously led the Green Youth in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, shares Bobga's concerns. She criticized the Greens' politics, stating they often prioritized power over conviction. Both leaders are influenced by the climate protection movement Fridays for Future and expect the Greens to prioritize redistribution issues.
