"New administrative body for Düsseldorf's Green Party"
In a significant development for the environmentalist political party Bündnis 90/DIE GRÜNEN in Düsseldorf, Christian Fritsch and Sophie Karow have been elected as the new speakers of the Greens Düsseldorf. The election took place during the party's annual general meeting held on Saturday, 11th March.
Fritsch, a seasoned political figure with a background in the Greens, SPD, and then returning to the Greens, secured 71 out of 136 votes (52.21 percent) to claim the speaker position. His opponent, Karow, received the majority of the votes for the speaker position, with 65 votes (47.79 percent).
Karow expressed her eagerness to grow the Greens association, win elections, and shape the city of Düsseldorf. Fritsch also emphasized the importance of sharpening the profile of the Greens and highlighting future themes for intergenerational politics.
The Greens Düsseldorf board consists of eight members for a term of two years. The board is formed by the two speakers, the treasurer, and five additional members. Alongside Fritsch and Karow, new members Jenny-Mai Guse, Martha Schuldzinski, and Anas Al-Qura'an have been elected to the board. Philipp Büttner, Helene van gen Hassend, and Simon Schüttter were re-elected as members.
Notably, voting machines were used instead of paper ballots in the board elections, marking a shift towards more modern and efficient voting processes.
In her speech during the meeting, Mona Neubaur, who stepped in for the absent Yazgülü Zeybek, discussed the current political situation and the efforts of the Black-Green government to accommodate and integrate the 226,000 refugees from Ukraine. She also emphasized the need to expand renewable energy sources and phase out brown coal.
The election of Fritsch and Karow follows recent changes in leadership within related organizations, such as the Wirtschaftsvereinigung der Grünen, which has elected new board members, including Marie-Luise Wolff and Karl Haeusgen. However, without specific details from the Düsseldorf chapter, the composition and background of the new board elected by the members of Bündnis 90/DIE GRÜNEN in Düsseldorf remains unclear.
For more detailed information about the local chapter in Düsseldorf, such as the new board composition, it is recommended to consult local news sources or the official website of Bündnis 90/DIE GRÜNEN in Düsseldorf.
The election of Christian Fritsch and Sophie Karow as speakers of the Greens Düsseldorf signifies a shift in the city's general-news and politics landscape, as they aim to grow the Greens association, win elections, and shape the city of Düsseldorf. The use of voting machines in the board elections also marks a move towards more modern and efficient voting processes within the Greens Düsseldorf.
