Green Party Chair: 'We Greens abolished the rotation forty years ago'
Franziska Brantner, the chair of the Green Party, emphasizes that the party abolished its rotation policy decades ago and insists there will be no part-time Minister-President in Baden-Württemberg during negotiations with the CDU.
In an interview, Franziska Brantner, the chair of the Green Party, asserts that the party eliminated its long-standing rotation policy around forty years ago, highlighting the party's desire to negotiate on equal footing with the CDU in Baden-Württemberg. She firmly states that the concept of a part-time Minister-President is off the table and contradicts the CDU's previous stance on lifestyle choices.
Brantner reflects on the recent media coverage, indicating a misunderstanding surrounding a perceived campaign. She clarifies that her statements were made during a television interview, which seemed to have been misconstrued by the Union. The interview addressed broader issues including the tendency for women to face disproportionate scrutiny when discussing topics like these in politics.
Further, Brantner acknowledges Cem Özdemir's notable campaign efforts, recognizing his increased visibility and impact during the election period. This highlights a focus on internal party dynamics, as well as the importance of equal representation and addressing gender-related biases in political discourse.
